Muslims are advised to suppress the urge to yawn, but there is no specific phrase recommended to be said after yawning. However, after sneezing, Muslims say "Alhamdulillah" (Praise be to Allah).
Here's a more detailed explanation:
-
Suppressing the Yawn: Islamic teachings encourage Muslims to try and control or suppress yawning as much as possible. This is based on the belief that yawning is linked to laziness or negativity and can be influenced by the devil (Shaitan).
-
No Specific Recitation: Unlike sneezing, where saying "Alhamdulillah" is prescribed, there is no specific dua (supplication) or phrase recommended to be recited after yawning in Islam.
-
Sneezing vs. Yawning: It's important to distinguish between sneezing and yawning. After sneezing, a Muslim says "Alhamdulillah" (Praise be to Allah). If someone hears them sneeze and say this, they should respond with "Yarhamukallah" (May Allah have mercy on you), to which the sneezer can reply "Yahdikumullahu wa yuslihu balakum" (May Allah guide you and set your affairs right). These specific responses are unique to sneezing, not yawning.
-
Burping: Similar to yawning, there is no specific recitation recommended after burping. The referenced document indicates that saying "Alhamdulillah" is associated with sneezing, not burping or yawning.
Therefore, while there's an emphasis on controlling yawns in Islamic tradition, there is no prescribed saying connected to yawning itself.
