The ruling on praising Allah after sneezing in prayer

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If a person is in prayer and then sneezes, should he praise Allah, whether it is an obligatory or voluntary prayer?

Answer:
Yes, it is prescribed for him to praise Allah; because it is established in the authentic hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard someone praising Allah after his sneeze in prayer, and he did not disapprove of it. Rather, he said:
I have seen such and such of the angels, all of them competing to write it downلقد رأيت كذا وكذا من الملائكة كلهم يبتدرونها أيهم يكتبها
And because praising Allah is of the same kind as the remembrance in prayer and is not contrary to it.
