Q
What are the consequences of associating wealth and children with success in the hereafter according to Islamic belief?
A
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)
