حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَی عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ خَبَّابٍ قَالَ کُنْتُ قَيْنًا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَکَانَ لِي عَلَی الْعَاصِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ دَيْنٌ فَأَتَيْتُهُ أَتَقَاضَاهُ قَالَ لَا أُعْطِيکَ حَتَّی تَکْفُرَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ لَا أَکْفُرُ حَتَّی يُمِيتَکَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ تُبْعَثَ قَالَ دَعْنِي حَتَّی أَمُوتَ وَأُبْعَثَ فَسَأُوتَی مَالًا وَوَلَدًا فَأَقْضِيکَ فَنَزَلَتْ أَفَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي کَفَرَ بِآيَاتِنَا وَقَالَ لَأُوتَيَنَّ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا أَطَّلَعَ الْغَيْبَ أَمْ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ عَهْدًا
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 2091
Narrated Khabbab: I was a blacksmith in the Pre-Islamic period, and 'Asi bin Wail owed me some money, so I went to him to demand it. He said (to me), "I will not pay you unless you disbelieve Muhammad." I said, "I will not disbelieve till Allah kills you and then you get resurrected." He said, "Leave me till I die and get resurrected, then I will be given wealth and children and I will pay you your debt." On that occasion it was revealed to the Prophet: 'Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our signs and says: Surely I will be given wealth and children? Has he known the unseen, or has he taken a covenant from the Beneficent (Allah)? (19.77- 78)
