When one of you sneezes he should say:

الْحَمْدُ للهِ
"All praise is for Allah"

...and his companions or the people around him should say to him:

يَرْحَمُكَ الله [For a male]
يَرْحَمُكِ الله [For a female]
"May Allah have mercy upon you"

...and he (i.e. the one who sneezed) should reply back to him:

يَهْدِيكُمُ اللهُ وَيُصْلِحُ بَالَكُمْ
"May Allah guide you and rectify your condition"

Note: If the person who sneezed does not say "Alhamdulillah," then others around him should not say the Dua for him as mentioned in a separate Hadeeth by the Prophet (S.A.W.S).
