The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah likes sneezing and dislikes yawning, so if someone sneezes and then praises
Allah, then it is obligatory on every Muslim who heard him, to say: May Allah be merciful to you
(Yar-hamuka-l-lah). But as regards yawning, it is from Satan, so one must try one's best to stop it, if
one says 'Ha' when yawning, Satan will laugh at him."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 78, Hadith 247
