English Translation of Al-Quran
[35].Surah Fatir [The Originator of Creation]
Ayat 4. And if they do not believe you (O Muhammad ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH), so were Messengers belied before you. And to Allah return all matters (for decision).
Tafseer of Surah Fatir Ayat 4. And if they reject thee, so were messengers rejected before thee: to Allah back for decision all affairs. And yet there will be human perversity which will reject the True and accept the False. The Prophet of Allah is not discouraged by this, as everything ultimately returns to Allah, and we must trust His Wisdom in His Universal Plan.
English Translation of Hadith
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) said, “May his nose soil with dust in whose presence mention is made of me and he does not supplicate for me.”
[At-Tirmidhi Hadith # 3545].
Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah Fatir Ayat 4. And if they do not believe you (O Muhammad ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH), so were Messengers belied before you. And to Allah return all matters (for decision). “May his nose soil with dust” means to suffer humiliation and disgrace. That is “may such person be humiliated and disgraced who hears my name and does not invoke Allah’s blessings upon me.” Those who merely kiss thumbs of their hands can also be the addressee of this saying because they do not supplicate Allah for the Prophet ﷺ [SAWW](PBUH) while what is in fact ordained is salutation, and not kissing of thumbs. The latter gesture has not been ordained in any Hadith. Some religious scholars regard the salutation obligatory while others hold that it is desirable.
