Hadith text

Narrated Masruq:Khabbab said, "During the pre-Islamic 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

Masruq bataate hain: Khabbab ne kaha, 'Jaahiliyat ke daur mein main lohar tha aur Al-Aasi bin Wail par mera qarz tha.' To Khabbab uske paas apna qarz maangne gaya. Usne kaha, 'Main tujhe (tera haq) tab tak nahi dunga jab tak tu Muhammad ka inkaar nahi karta.' Khabbab ne kaha, 'Allah ki qasam, main Muhammad ka inkaar tab tak nahi karunga jab tak Allah tujhe maut na de aur phir zinda na kare.' Al-Aasi ne kaha, 'To mujhe rehne de jab tak main mar na jaaun aur phir zinda na kiya jaaun, mujhe wahaan maal aur bachche milenge, tab main tera qarz ada kar dunga.' Isper ye Aayat naazil hui: 'Kya tumne use dekha jisne Hamaari Aayaton ka inkaar kiya, aur (phir bhi) kehta hai ke mujhe zaroor maal aur aulaad di jaayegi?'
