The response to a sneeze when one does not praise Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if a man sneezes and does not praise Allah, should he be responded to?

Answer:
No, he is not responded to. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said
and when he sneezes and says:" All praise is due to Allah," you say Yarhamuk Allah (may Allah show mercy to you)وإذا عطس فحمد الله أشمته
Sahih Muslim 2162b
This indicates that if one does not praise Allah, he is not responded to. Yes.
