Shaykh ibn ’Uthaymeen was asked the following question.

Which one is more superior (in terms of reward) the person giving the Athaan or the Imaam leading the people in Salah?

The Shaykh answered:

Giving the athaan is superior to leading the prayer since the person giving the athaan is raising his voice proclaiming the greatness of Allaah whilst bearing witness to the prophethood of the Prophet.

Aswell as calling the people towards success and prayer five times a day.

And there is no tree nor stone that hears his voice except that it will give testimony for him on the day of judgement.

If a person sneezes and does not praise Allah, do we remind him? [to praise Allah]

Shaykh ibn 'Uthaymeen - may Allah have mercy upon him - said:

If a person sneezes and does not praise Allah, do not say to him 'yarhamakAllah' [may Allah have mercy upon you] as a punishment for him because he didnt say alhamdulilah, meaning the fact that he left off praising Allah it caused him to be denied this du'aa of mercy. But then [the question might arise] do we remind such a person [to praise Allah]?

The answer: It is possible that the person did not say alhamdulilah out of disrespect [towards Allah] or it is also possible that the person left it due to forgetfullness. So if it is due to the latter [i.e out of forgetfullness] then such a person is to be reminded but if it is due to the fact that this person is being disrespectful then he is not to be reminded. However, how does one know wether the person in question left it [praising Allah] due to forgetfullness or out of disrespect? Understanding the hadith on its apparent meaning [the hadith wherein which the Prophet mentions]

...and [he] praises Allah...

[So what can be understood from this is] If the person does not praise Allah do not say may Allah have mercy upon you similarly do not remind him [of that].
