English narration
Narrated by خباب بن الأرت التميمي
I was a blacksmith and did some work for Al-`As bin Wail. When he owed me some money for my work, I went to him to ask for that amount. He said, "I will not pay you unless you disbelieve in Muhammad." I said, "By Allah! I will never do that till you die and be resurrected." He said, "Will I be dead and then resurrected after my death?" I said, "Yes." He said, "There I will have property and offspring and then I will pay you your due." Then Allah revealed. 'Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our signs, and yet says I will be given property and offspring?' (19.77)

حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَبَّابٌ ، قَالَ : "
كُنْتُ رَجُلًا قَيْنًا ، فَعَمِلْتُ لِلْعَاصِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ ، فَاجْتَمَعَ لِي عِنْدَهُ ، فَأَتَيْتُهُ أَتَقَاضَاهُ ، فَقَالَ : لَا ، وَاللَّهِ لَا أَقْضِيكَ حَتَّى تَكْفُرَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ ، فَقُلْتُ : أَمَا وَاللَّهِ حَتَّى تَمُوتَ ثُمَّ تُبْعَثَ فَلَا ، قَالَ : وَإِنِّي لَمَيِّتٌ ثُمَّ مَبْعُوثٌ ، قُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَإِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ لِي ، ثَمَّ مَالٌ وَوَلَدٌ فَأَقْضِيكَ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى : أَفَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي كَفَرَ بِآيَاتِنَا وَقَالَ لأُوتَيَنَّ مَالا وَوَلَدًا سورة مريم آية 77
