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 off –
spring 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)

him to demand it. He said (to me), “I will not pay you unless you disbelieve Muhammad.” I said, “I
will not disbelieve till Allah kills you and then you get resurrected.” He said, “Leave me till I die and
get resurrected, then I will be given wealth and children and I will pay you your debt.” On that occa –
sion it was revealed to the Prophet:
‘Have you seen him who disbelieved in Our signs and says: Surely I will be given wealth and chil –
dren? Has he known the unseen, or has he taken a covenant from the Beneficent (Allah)? (19.77-78)

cumbent on Allah. Some of us died and they did not take anything from their rewards in this world,
and amongst them was Mustab bin ‘Umar; and the others were those who got their rewards. Mustab

bin ‘Umar was martyred on the day of the Battle of Uhud and we could get nothing except his Burd
to shroud him in. And when we covered his head his feet became bare and vice versa. So the Prophet
ordered us to cover his head only and to put idhkhir (a kind of shrub) over his feet.
