Sahih al-Bukhari #4526

Prophetic Commentary on the Qur'an (Tafseer of the Prophet (pbuh))
Sahih

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ خَبَّابًا، قَالَ جِئْتُ الْعَاصِيَ بْنَ وَائِلٍ السَّهْمِيَّ أَتَقَاضَاهُ حَقًّا لِي عِنْدَهُ، فَقَالَ لاَ أُعْطِيكَ حَتَّى تَكْفُرَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ فَقُلْتُ لاَ حَتَّى تَمُوتَ ثُمَّ تُبْعَثَ‏.‏ قَالَ وَإِنِّي لَمَيِّتٌ ثُمَّ مَبْعُوثٌ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ‏.‏ قَالَ إِنَّ لِي هُنَاكَ مَالاً وَوَلَدًا فَأَقْضِيكَهُ، فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ ‏{‏أَفَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي كَفَرَ بِآيَاتِنَا وَقَالَ لأُوتَيَنَّ مَالاً وَوَلَدًا‏}‏ رَوَاهُ الثَّوْرِيُّ وَشُعْبَةُ وَحَفْصٌ وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ وَوَكِيعٌ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ‏.‏
I came to Al-`Asi bin Wail As-Sahmi and demanded something which he owed me. He said, "I will not give you (your money) till you disbelieve in Muhammad." I said, "No, I shall not disbelieve in Muhammad till you die and then be resurrected." He said, "Will I die and then be resurrected?" I said, 'Yes'. He said', "Then I will have wealth and children there, and I will pay you (there)." So this Verse was revealed:-- 'Have you then seen him who disbelieved in Our Signs and (yet) says: I shall certainly be given wealth and children? (19.77)
Narrated by Narrated Khabbab:

Context

In this hadith, Khabbab narrates an encounter with Al-`Asi bin Wail, who refused to pay a debt unless Khabbab renounced his belief in Muhammad ﷺ. Khabbab steadfastly refused, asserting that he would not disbelieve until Al-`Asi died and was resurrected. This exchange highlights the tension between faith and material concerns, leading to the revelation of a verse addressing disbelief and false hopes in worldly possessions.

Modern Application

This principle emphasizes the importance of integrity and faithfulness in our dealings. In today's world, individuals may face pressure to compromise their beliefs for financial gain or social acceptance. Upholding one's principles, as Khabbab did, can inspire others and foster a community grounded in trust and honesty.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Disbelief and Divine Revelation because it illustrates the conflict between faith and materialism, leading to a divine response that addresses the nature of disbelief.
