The answer

If a Muslim says to his Muslim brother, who has done him a favor, "May Allah reward you with good (Jazakallahu khairan)," he has fully praised him and exerted his utmost effort in rewarding him, seeking for him a great reward from Allah. This supplication is specific to a Muslim. As for a non-Muslim who performs a good deed, one should supplicate for them with an increase in wealth, children, health, and well-being.
