حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَی عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ خَبَّابًا قَالَ جِئْتُ الْعَاصَ بْنَ وَائِلٍ السَّهْمِيَّ أَتَقَاضَاهُ حَقًّا لِي عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ لَا أُعْطِيکَ حَتَّی تَکْفُرَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقُلْتُ لَا حَتَّی تَمُوتَ ثُمَّ تُبْعَثَ قَالَ وَإِنِّي لَمَيِّتٌ ثُمَّ مَبْعُوثٌ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ إِنَّ لِي هُنَاکَ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا فَأَقْضِيکَهُ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ أَفَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي کَفَرَ بِآيَاتِنَا وَقَالَ لَأُوتَيَنَّ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا رَوَاهُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَشُعْبَةُ وَحَفْصٌ وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ وَوَکِيعٌ عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 4734
Narrated Masruq: Khabbab said, "During the pre-lslamic period, I was a blacksmith and Al-Asi bin Wail owed me a debt." So Khabbab went to him to demand the debt. He said, "I will not give you (your due) till you disbelieve in Muhammad." Khabbab said, "By Allah, I shall not disbelieve in Muhammad till Allah makes you die and then resurrects you." Al-Asi said, "So leave me till I die and then be resurrected, for I will be given wealth and children whereupon I will pay you your debt." So this Verse was revealed:-- 'Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our Signs and, (yet) says: I shall certainly be given wealth and children.' (19.77)
