*It is lawful to say: 'Yahdeekomol'laah wa yus'le'ho baa'lakom' to the people of Dhim'mah (i.e. non Muslims who live in Muslim lands and pay Jizyah [head tax]). The Jews used to sneeze in the presence of the Prophet () in hope that he would say to them: 'Yarham kal-laah', but he would say: 'Yahdeekomol'laah wa yus'le'ho baa'lakom' (i.e. may Allah guide you, and make better your affairs.) if they had praised Allah after sneezing.
