English translation
2425. Narrated Khabbāb رضي الله عنه: I was a blacksmith in the Pre-Islāmic Period of Ignorance, and 'Āṣ bin Wā'il owed me some money. I went to him to demand it, but he said to me, "I will not pay you unless you reject faith in Muḥammad." I replied, "By Allāh, I will never disbelieve Muḥammad ﷺ till Allāh let you die and then resurrect you." He said, "Then wait till I die and come to life again, for then I will be given property and offspring and will pay your right." So, this revelation came: "Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our Ayāt (this Qur'ān and Muḥammad ﷺ) and said, 'I shall certainly be given wealth and children [if I will be alive (again)].'" (V.19:77)
