Virtue

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, Allah loves the sneezing of a slave and dislikes yawning. When one of you sneezes and praises Allah, it is the duty of every Muslim who hears it to say Yarhamukallah. yawn Talk about it is from Satan. When one of you yawns, try to return it as much as possible. Because when someone yawns, Satan laughs at him. Note: In various hadiths, the virtues of duat have been discussed. But individually hi actually this Nowhere in the Qur'an or Hadith can one find that Du'a should be recited. Since Hai comes from Shaytaan and is also a supplication seeking refuge with Allah, Hai can actually be recited without considering the Dua to be Sunnah/necessary.
