Sahih al-Bukhari 2425

Hadith text

Narrated Khabbab:I was a blacksmith In the Pre-Islamic period of ignorance, and 'Asi bin Wail owed me some money. I went to him to demand it, but he said to me, "I will not pay you unless you reject faith in Muhammad." I replied, "By Allah, I will never disbelieve Muhammad till Allah lets you die and then resurrects you." He said, "Then wait till I die and come to life again, for then I will be given property and offspring and will pay your right." So, thus revelation came: "Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our signs and yet says, 'I will be given property and offspring?

Khabbab (رضی اللہ عنہ) bataate hain: Main jahiliyat ke zamane mein ek lohar tha, aur Asi bin Wail par mera kuch paisa qarz tha. Main use maangne gaya, magar unhone mujhse kaha: "Main tumhe tab tak nahi dunga jab tak tum Muhammad par apna iman radd na karo." Maine jawab diya: "Allah ki qasam, main kabhi Muhammad ka inkaar nahi karunga jab tak Allah tumhe maar na de aur phir tumhe dobara zinda kar de." Unhone kaha: "Phir intezar karo jab tak main mar na jaoon aur dobara zinda na ho jaoon, kyunke tab mujhe jaidad aur aulad di jaayegi aur main tumhara haqq ada karunga." Isliye yeh wahi nazil hui: "Kya tumne use dekha jisne humari nishaniyon ka inkaar kiya, aur phir kaha: 'Mujhe zaroor maal aur aulad di jaayegi?'"
