(7). 3162. Masrūq said: "I heard Khabbāb bin Al-Aratt saying: 'I came to Al-'Āsh bin Wā'il As-Sahmī to collect a debt he owed me. He said: 'You shall not be given anything until you deny Muḥammad.' So I said: 'No, not until you are dead and resurrected.' He said: 'After I die and 'I am resurrected?' So I said: 'Yes.' So he said: 'I shall indeed have wealth and offspring to repay you with.' So (the following) Āyah was revealed: Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our Āyāt and said: I shall certainly be given wealth and children.'" (Sahīh)

Commentary
This Verse speaks about the mentality of such people who do not regard the favors of Allāh as Allāh's gifts and bounties, instead they consider them their personal right and think of them as results of their talents. That is why they have the disease of arrogance and believe that the state and leadership is their birth right. Therefore they assume, if the Day of Judgment occurs, there too, they will be granted wealth and children and they will also enjoy a lavish lifestyle.
