Maarif-ul-Quran (En) - Maryam : 77
اَفَرَءَیْتَ الَّذِیْ كَفَرَ بِاٰیٰتِنَا وَ قَالَ لَاُوْتَیَنَّ مَالًا وَّ وَلَدًاؕ
Did you, then, see him who rejected Our verses and said, "I shall certainly be given wealth and children?"
Commentary لَأُوتَيَنَّ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا ("I shall certainly be given wealth and children". - 19:77) Bukhari and Muslim relate the story of Sayyidna Khabab Ibn Al-'Aratt ؓ who had lent some money to ` As Ibn Wa’ il. When pressed to return the loan, ` As Ibn Wa’ il said that he would not make the payment until he (Sayyidna Khabab ؓ dissociated himself from the Holy Prophet ﷺ . Sayyidna Khabab ؓ replied that he would never do that - not until ` As was dead and rose to life again. At this ` As Ibn Wa’ il said, "What? Will I be brought to life again after I am dead? If so I will repay the loan only after I am brought back to life again because even then I will have my wealth and my children." (Qurtubi)
