٦ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمَّادٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ الْعَالِمَ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) عَنِ الْعَطْسَةِ وَمَا الْعِلَّةُ فِي الْحَمْدِ لله عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ لله نِعَماً عَلَى عَبْدِهِ فِي صِحَّةِ بَدَنِهِ وَسَلامَةِ جَوَارِحِهِ وَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ يَنْسَى ذِكْرَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَإِذَا نَسِيَ أَمَرَ الله الرِّيحَ فَتَجَاوَزَ فِي بَدَنِهِ ثُمَّ يُخْرِجُهَا مِنْ أَنْفِهِ فَيَحْمَدُ الله عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَيَكُونُ حَمْدُهُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ شُكْراً لِمَا نَسِيَ.
6. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Salih ibn abu Hammad who has said the following: “Once I asked the scholar about sneezing and the reason for praising Allah thereafter. The Imam said, ‘From Allah there are bounties in His servant, in his good health for his body and soundness of his limbs. The servant forgets remembering Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, for such bounties. When he forgets Allah commands the air to pass through his body and come out of his nose. He then praises Allah for it and his praising at such time is thanking that he had forgotten.’”
