It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that al-As bin Wa'il came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) carrying a decayed bone and crumbled it (with his hand), then said: "O Muhammad, will Allah raise this (again) when I see it in this (decayed) state?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, Allah will raise this again, then He will cause you to die, then He will bring you to life, and then He will enter you into the fire of Hell." The narrator said: Thereupon these verses were revealed: "Does man not see that We created him from a sperm-drop, and then behold, he is an open adversary?" [Surah Ya Sin: 77] to the end of the surah. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.
