Adhkar in Arabic with English translationSocial Manners

إِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَلْيَقُلْ لَهُ أَخُوهُ أَوْ صَاحِبُهُ: يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ، فَإِذَا قَالَ لَهُ: يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ، فَلْيَقُلْ: يَهْدِيكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَكُمْ

When you sneeze, say: "All praises and thanks are to Allah".(1) Your brother or companion should say: "May Allah have mercy upon you".(2) Then you should reply: "May Allah guide you and set your affairs in order".(3)

Al-Bukhari 7/125.

يَهْدِيكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَكُمْ

May Allah guide you and rectify your condition.

At-Tirmizi 5/82, Ahmad 4/400, Abu Dawud 4/ 308.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَافَانِي مِمَّا ابْتَلَاكَ بِهِ، وَفَضَّلَنِي عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ تَفْضِيلاً

Praise is to Allah Who has spared me what He has afflicted you with, and preferred me greatly above much of what He has created.

At-Tirmizi 5/493,494.

عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رضي الله عنهما قَالَ: كَانَ يُعَدُّ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الْمَجْلِسِ الْوَاحِدِ مِائَةُ مَرَّةٍ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَقُومَ: (رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي، وَتُبْ عَلَيَّ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الْغَفُورُ)

Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) said: It would be counted that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said in a single sitting, one hundred times, before standing up: "My Lord, forgive me and accept my repentance; You are the Ever-Relenting, the All-Forgiving."

At-Tirmizi (no. 3434), Ibn Majah (no. 3814); see Sahih At-Tirmizi 3/153, Sahih Ibn Majah 2/321. The wording is At-Tirmizi's.

سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ

Glory is to You, O Allah, and praise is to You. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but You. I seek Your forgiveness and repent to You.(Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not sit in a gathering, and did not recite the Qur'an, and did not perform any prayer without concluding by saying this invocation.)

Abu Dawud, Ibn Majah, At-Tirmizi and An-Nasa'i, Ahmad 6/77

وَلَكَ

And you.

Ahmad 5/82, An-Nasa'i.

جَزَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْراً

May Allah reward you with good.

At-Tirmizi (Hadith no. 2035).

أَحَبَّكَ الَّذِي أَحْبَبْتَنِي لَهُ

May He for Whose sake you love me, love you.

Abu Dawud 4/333.

بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ

May Allah bless you in your family and your property.

Al-Bukhari.

بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِكَ وَمَالِكَ، إِنَّمَا جَزَاءُ السَّلَفِ الْحَمْدُ وَالْأَدَاءُ

May Allah bless you in your family and your wealth, surely the reward for a loan is praise and returning (what was borrowed).

An-Nasa'i, Ibn Majah 2/809.

وَفِيكَ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ

And may Allah bless you.

Ibn As-Sunni (Hadith no. 278).

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: لَا تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى تُؤْمِنُوا، وَلَا تُؤْمِنُوا حَتَّى تَحَابُّوا، أَوَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ إِذَا فَعَلْتُمُوهُ تَحَابَبْتُمْ، أَفْشُوا السَّلَامَ بَيْنَكُمْ

You shall not enter Paradise until you believe, and you have not believed until you love one another. Shall I tell you of something you can do to make you love one another? Spread the greetings of Salam (peace) amongst yourselves.

Muslim 1/74.

ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ جَمَعَهُنَّ فَقَدْ جَمَعَ الْإِيمَانَ: الْإِنْصَافُ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ، وَبَذْلُ السَّلَامِ لِلْعَالَمِ، وَالْإِنْفَاقُ مِنَ الْإِقْتَارِ

Three things — whoever combines them has combined faith (Iman): giving others their due from yourself, extending the greeting of Salam (peace) to everyone, and spending (in charity) even when in want.

Al-Bukhari.

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: أَنَّ رَجُلاً سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَيُّ الْإِسْلَامِ خَيْرٌ قَالَ: تُطْعِمُ الطَّعَامَ، وَتَقْرَأُ السَّلَامَ عَلَى مَنْ عَرَفْتَ وَمَنْ لَمْ تَعْرِفْ

A man asked the Prophet (ﷺ), What is the best act of Islam? He said, To feed others and to give greetings of Salam (peace) to those whom you know and to those whom you do not know.

Al-Bukhari, Muslim 1/65.

إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ فَقُولُوا: وَعَلَيْكُمْ

If one of the Christians and Jews (People of the Scripture) greets you saying As-Salaamu 'alaykum, then say (to him): And upon you.

Al-Bukhari, Muslim 4/1705.

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: اللَّهُمَّ فَأَيُّمَا مُؤْمِنٍ سَبَبْتُهُ فَاجْعَلْ ذَلِكَ لَهُ قُرْبَةً إِلَيْكَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "O Allah, any believer whom I have insulted, make that a means of drawing him near to You on the Day of Resurrection."

Al-Bukhari, Muslim 4/2007.

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ مَادِحاً صَاحِبَهُ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَلْيَقُلْ: أَحْسِبُ فُلَاناً وَاللَّهُ حَسِيبُهُ، وَلَا أُزَكِّي عَلَى اللَّهِ أَحَداً، أَحْسِبُهُ – إِنْ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ ذَاكَ – كَذَا وَكَذَا

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "If one of you cannot avoid praising his companion, let him say: 'I consider so-and-so — and Allah is his Reckoner, and I do not attest to anyone's purity before Allah — I consider him to be such and such', if he knows that of him."

Muslim 4/2296.

اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُؤَاخِذْنِي بِمَا يَقُولُونَ، وَاغْفِرْ لِي مَا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ، [وَاجْعَلْنِي خَيْراً مِمَّا يَظُنُّونَ]

O Allah, do not call me to account for what they say and forgive me for what they have no knowledge of and make me better than they imagine.

Al-Bukhari, Al-Bayhaqi.
