Hadith text

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)?

Khabbab (رضی اللہ عنہ) bataate hain: Main jahiliyat ke zamane mein ek lohar tha, aur Asi bin Wail par mera kuch paisa qarz tha, isliye main use maangne gaya. Usne (mujhse) kaha: "Main tumhe tab tak nahi dunga jab tak tum Muhammad ko na maano (kaafir na ho jaao)." Maine kaha: "Main kaafir nahi hounga jab tak Allah tumhe maar na de aur phir tumhe dobara zinda kar de." Usne kaha: "Mujhe (marne) do jab tak main mar na jaaun aur dobara zinda na ho jaaun, phir mujhe maal aur aulad di jaayegi aur main tumhara qarz ada karunga." Isi waqt Nabi par yeh nazil hui: "Kya tumne use dekha jisne humari nishaniyon ka inkaar kiya aur kaha: Zaroor mujhe maal aur aulad di jaayegi? Kya usse ghaib ka ilm hai, ya usne Rahman se koi ahad liya hai?"
