2275. Narrated Khabbāb رضي الله عنه: I was a blacksmith and did some work for Al-‘Āsh bin Wā’il. 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 Muḥammad (ﷺ).” I said, “By Allāh! 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 Allāh revealed: “Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our “Ayat” (this Qur’ān and Muḥammad ﷺ) and said: I shall certainly be given wealth and children?” (V.19: 77)
