If a man sneezes and does not praise Allah, should he be reminded to praise Allah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : And what do you say about this? Thank you. We heard it. The question says: If the one who sneezes does not say "Praise be to Allah," should I tell him, "Say 'Praise be to Allah' so that I may comfort you"?

The Shaykh : No, no. Look, yes, the correct view involves a distinction. It is said that if it is more likely that this man is ignorant and does not know, then he is taught. But if it is more likely that he is knowledgeable but negligent, then he is not taught.
