This questioner says: How do we reconcile the hadith of the man who supplicates to Allah while disheveled and dusty and is not answered, who may be a Muslim, with the fact that Allah answers the disbeliever?
Answer:
And as for whoever says that the disheveled and dusty man is not answered, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says:
Some disheveled and dusty man is pushed aside at the doors of people, whom they do not want because he is poor and disheveled. If he were to swear by Allah, He would fulfill it.
