Is speaking during a sneeze or the Adhan considered evidence of its validity, and does this have a basis in religion?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It was reported in a fabricated narration: "Whoever narrates a Hadith and someone sneezes when he narrates it, then it is true." Al-Suyuti and Al-Albani described it as false and fabricated. As for the Adhan (call to prayer), there is no evidence to suggest that hearing it confirms or denies the authenticity of a Hadith. Therefore, sneezing and the Adhan are not considered proof of a Hadith's authenticity.
