حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْأَشَجُّ وَاللَّفْظُ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَی عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ خَبَّابٍ قَالَ کَانَ لِي عَلَی الْعَاصِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ دَيْنٌ فَأَتَيْتُهُ أَتَقَاضَاهُ فَقَالَ لِي لَنْ أَقْضِيَکَ حَتَّی تَکْفُرَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنِّي لَنْ أَکْفُرَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ حَتَّی تَمُوتَ ثُمَّ تُبْعَثَ قَالَ وَإِنِّي لَمَبْعُوثٌ مِنْ بَعْدِ الْمَوْتِ فَسَوْفَ أَقْضِيکَ إِذَا رَجَعْتُ إِلَی مَالٍ وَوَلَدٍ قَالَ وَکِيعٌ کَذَا قَالَ الْأَعْمَشُ قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ أَفَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي کَفَرَ بِآيَاتِنَا وَقَالَ لَأُوتَيَنَّ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا إِلَی قَوْلِهِ وَيَأْتِينَا فَرْدًا
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 7062
Khabbab reported that Al-`As b. Wa'il owed debt to me. I came to him in order to demand that. He said: I will never repay you unless you belie Muhammad. I said: I would never belie Muhammad until you die and you are again raised up. He said: When I would be raised up after death, I would repay your debt when I would get my property and children back. Waki` said: This is how Al-A`mash has narrated and it was on this occasion that this verse was revealed: Hast thou seen him who disbelieves in Our message and says: I shall certainly be given wealth and children (xix, 77) up to he would come to Us alone (xix, 80).
