The answer

The meaning of "May Allah disfigure him" is a supplication that the person becomes ugly. "Ta'as" means he perished, and its origin is "al-kabb" (to be thrown down), which is the opposite of recovery. "Raghim anfuhu" means his nose was rubbed in the dust, which is an idiom for humiliation and abasement.
