Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 256
Khabbab said, "During the pre-lslamic 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.' (19.77)
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 make you die and then bring you to life again." He said, "If Allah should make me die and then resurrect me and 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?' (19.77- 78)
I was a blacksmith and Al-Asi Bin Wail owed me a debt, so I went to him to demand it. He said to me. "I will not pay you your debt till you disbelieve in Muhammad." I said, "I will not disbelieve in Muhammad till you die and then be resurrected." He said, "Will I be resurrected after my death? If so, I shall pay you (there) if I should find wealth and children." So there was revealed:-- 'Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our Signs, and yet says: I shall certainly be given wealth and children? Has he, known to the unseen or has he taken a covenant from (Allah) the Beneficent? Nay ! We shall record what he says, and we shall add and add to his punishment. And We shall inherit from him all that he talks of, and he shall appear before Us alone.' (19.77-80)
