When Satan Laughs

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that Allah likes sneezing, so the one who sneezes says Alhamdulillah, and those who hear reply, 'May Allah have mercy on you.' Yawning, he said, is from Satan, so we should try to stop it, cover our mouths and keep quiet. Saying 'Ha' loudly while yawning makes Satan laugh, and children learn that even small manners matter in Islam.
