Footnote 322:

  To spit or blow the nose in good society is “vulgar.” Sneezing
  (Al-’Atsah) is a complicated affair. For Talmudic traditions of death
  by sneezing see Lane (M. E. chapt. viii). Amongst Hindus sneezing and
  yawning are caused by evil spirits whom they drive away by snapping
  thumb and forefinger as loudly as possible. The pagan Arabs held
  sneezing a bad omen, which often stopped their journeys. Moslems
  believe that when Allah placed the Soul (life?) in Adam, the dry clay
  became flesh and bone and the First Man, waking to life, sneezed and
  ejaculated “Alhamdolillah;” whereto Gabriel replied, “Allah have mercy
  upon thee, O Adam!” Mohammed, who liked sneezing because accompanied
  by lightness of body and openness of pores, said of it, “If a man
  sneeze or eructate and say ‘Alhamdolillah’ he averts seventy diseases
  of which the least is leprosy” (Juzám); also, “If one of you sneeze,
  let him exclaim, ‘Alhamdolillah,’ and let those around salute him in
  return with, ‘Allah have mercy upon thee!’ and lastly let him say,
  ‘Allah direct you and strengthen your condition.’” Moderns prefer,
  “Allah avert what may joy thy foe!” = (our God bless you!) to which
  the answer is “Alhamdolillah!” Mohammed disliked yawning (Suabá or
  Thuabá), because not beneficial as a sneeze and said, “If one of you
  gape and cover not his mouth, a devil leaps into it.” This is still a
  popular superstition from Baghdad to Morocco.
