Sahih al-Bukhari 2275 (Book 37, Hadith 15) #2181
Refusing to Disbelieve in Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

SUMMARY: This hadith is about a man who refused to disbelieve in Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) even when he was offered money in return.

Narrated Khabbab: I was a blacksmith and did some work for Al-'As bin Wail. 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 Muhammad". I said, "By Allah! 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 Allah revealed'.Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our signs, and yet says: I will be given property and offspring?' (19:77)
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَبَّابٌ، قَالَ كُنْتُ رَجُلاً قَيْنًا فَعَمِلْتُ لِلْعَاصِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ فَاجْتَمَعَ لِي عِنْدَهُ فَأَتَيْتُهُ أَتَقَاضَاهُ فَقَالَ لاَ وَاللَّهِ لاَ أَقْضِيكَ حَتَّى تَكْفُرَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ حَتَّى تَمُوتَ ثُمَّ تُبْعَثَ فَلاَ‏.‏ قَالَ وَإِنِّي لَمَيِّتٌ ثُمَّ مَبْعُوثٌ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ‏.‏ قَالَ فَإِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ لِي ثَمَّ مَالٌ وَوَلَدٌ فَأَقْضِيكَ‏.‏ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ‏{‏أَفَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي كَفَرَ بِآيَاتِنَا وَقَالَ لأُوتَيَنَّ مَالاً وَوَلَدًا‏}‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells the story of Khabbab ibn al-Aratt, a blacksmith who did some work for Al-'As bin Wail. When Al-'As bin Wail owed him money for his work, he asked for it but was told that he would only be paid if he disbelieved in Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Despite this offer, Khabbab refused and said that he would never do so until Al-'As died and was resurrected. In response to this, Allah revealed the verse “Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our signs, and yet says: I will be given property and offspring?” (19:77). This hadith teaches us the importance of faith and belief in Allah's signs as well as the reward we can receive from being steadfast on our beliefs.
