I was a blacksmith, and Aas bin Waail owed me a debt. I went to him to collect what he owed.He said to me, "I will not pay you until you reject Muhammad."I said, "I will never reject him until you die and are then resurrected."He replied, "Am I really going to be resurrected after death? Then I will pay you when I return to my wealth and children."So this verse was revealed, "Have you seen the one who disbelieved in Our verses and said, 'I will surely be given wealth and children.' Has he looked into the unseen, or has he taken a covenant with the Most Merciful? No! We will record what he says and extend for him from the punishment extensively. And We will inherit him in what he speaks of, and he will come to Us alone." [Maryam 19:77–80]
حدثنا يحيى حدثنا وكيع عن الأعمش عن أبي الضحى عن مسروق
كنت رجلا قينا وكان لي على العاص بن وائل دين فأتيته أتقاضاه فقال لي لا أقضيك حتى تكفر بمحمد قال قلت لن أكفر به حتى تموت ثم تبعث قال وإني لمبعوث من بعد الموت فسوف أقضيك إذا رجعت إلى مال وولد قال فنزلت {أفرأيت الذي كفر بآياتنا وقال لأوتين مالا وولدا أطلع الغيب أم اتخذ عند الرحمن عهدا كلا سنكتب ما يقول ونمد له من العذاب مدا ونرثه ما يقول ويأتينا فردا}
