Sahih al-Bukhari 4735 (Book 65, Hadith 257) #4518
Denying Allah's Signs and Promises

SUMMARY: This hadith is about a man who refused to pay his debt until the narrator disbelieved in Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The hadith then goes on to explain how Allah will punish those who deny His signs and promises.

Narrated Khabbab: I was a blacksmith and Al-Asi Bin Wail owed me a debt, so I went to him to demand it. He said to me".I will not pay you your debt till you disbelieve in Muhammad". I said, "I will not disbelieve in Muhammad till you die and then be resurrected". He said, "Will I be resurrected after my death? If so, I shall pay you (there) if I should find wealth and children". So there was revealed:-- 'Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our Signs, and yet says: I shall certainly be given wealth and children? Has he, known to the unseen or has he taken a covenant from (Allah) the Beneficent? Nay ! We shall record what he says, and we shall add and add to his punishment. And We shall inherit from him all that he talks of, and he shall appear before Us alone'. (19:77-80)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ خَبَّابٍ، قَالَ كُنْتُ رَجُلاً قَيْنًا، وَكَانَ لِي عَلَى الْعَاصِي بْنِ وَائِلٍ دَيْنٌ فَأَتَيْتُهُ أَتَقَاضَاهُ، فَقَالَ لِي لاَ أَقْضِيكَ حَتَّى تَكْفُرَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ‏.‏ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَنْ أَكْفُرَ بِهِ حَتَّى تَمُوتَ ثُمَّ تُبْعَثَ‏.‏ قَالَ وَإِنِّي لَمَبْعُوثٌ مِنْ بَعْدِ الْمَوْتِ فَسَوْفَ أَقْضِيكَ إِذَا رَجَعْتُ إِلَى مَالٍ وَوَلَدٍ‏.‏ قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ ‏{‏أَفَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي كَفَرَ بِآيَاتِنَا وَقَالَ لأُوتَيَنَّ مَالاً وَوَلَدًا * أَطَّلَعَ الْغَيْبَ أَمِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ عَهْدًا * كَلاَّ سَنَكْتُبُ مَا يَقُولُ وَنَمُدُّ لَهُ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ مَدًّا * وَنَرِثُهُ مَا يَقُولُ وَيَأْتِينَا فَرْدًا‏}‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us about a man named Al-Asi Bin Wail, who refused to pay his debt to Khabbab until he disbelieved in Prophet Muhammad. Khabbab responded by saying that he would not do so until Al-Asi died and was resurrected, which made Al-Asi question if resurrection was even possible. In response, Allah revealed verses 77 through 80 of Surah Maryam which talk about how those who deny His signs and promises will be punished for their disbelief. These verses also remind us that no one can predict the future or know what lies ahead of them; only Allah knows what is unseen and He will record all our words for judgement day.
