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

When you sneeze , then say :
Alḥamdulillāh

Your companion should say :
Yarḥamukallāh

When someone says Yarḥamukallāh to you then you should say:
Yahdīkumu ‘llāhu wa yuṣliḥu bālakum.

All praises and thanks are to Allah.

May Allah guide you and set your affairs in order.
