Hadith text

Narrated Khabbab:I was a blacksmith in Mecca Once I made a sword for Al-`Asi bin Wail As-Sahmi. When I went to demand its price, he said, "I will not give it to you till you disbelieve in Muhammad." I said, "I shall not disbelieve in Muhammad till Allah makes you die and then bring you to life again." He said, "If Allah should make me die and then resurrect me, I would have wealth and children." So Allah revealed:-- 'Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our Signs, and (yet) says I shall certainly be given wealth and children? Has he known the unseen or has he taken a covenant from (Allah) the Beneficent?

Khabbab bataate hain: Main Makkah mein loharkaam karta tha. Ek baar maine Al-Aasi bin Wail As-Sahmi ke liye ek talwaar banaayi. Jab main uski qeemat maangne gaya, usne kaha, 'Main tujhe wo tab tak nahi dunga jab tak tu Muhammad ka inkaar nahi karta.' Maine kaha, 'Main Muhammad ka inkaar tab tak nahi karunga jab tak Allah tujhe maut na de aur phir tujhe dobara zinda na kare.' Usne kaha, 'Agar Allah mujhe maut de aur phir zinda kare, to mere paas (wahaan bhi) maal aur bachche honge.' Isper Allah ne naazil farmaya: 'Kya tumne use dekha jisne Hamaari Aayaton ka inkaar kiya, aur (phir bhi) kehta hai ke mujhe zaroor maal aur aulaad di jaayegi? Kya usne ghaib ka ilm paa liya hai, ya usne Rahmaan (Allah) se koi ahad le liya hai?'
