باب طَلَبِ الْكَافِرِ الْفِدَاءَ بِمِلْءِ الأَرْضِ ذَهَبًا:Chapter: The Disbeliever Seeking Ransom With An Earthful Of Gold
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ : أَخْبَرَنَا ، وقَالَ الْآخَرُونَ : حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " يُقَالُ لِلْكَافِرِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، أَرَأَيْتَ لَوْ كَانَ لَكَ مِلْءُ الْأَرْضِ ذَهَبًا أَكُنْتَ تَفْتَدِي بِهِ ، فَيَقُولُ : نَعَمْ ، فَيُقَالُ لَهُ : قَدْ سُئِلْتَ أَيْسَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ " ،
Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: It would be said to the non-believers on the Day of Resurrection: If you were to possess gold, filling the whole earth, would you like to secure your freedom by paying that? He would say: Yes. Thereupon it would be said to him: Something easier (than this) was demanded from you (but you paid no heed to it).

Hadith Commentary:
And you did not fulfill this either, meaning you did not refrain from shirk (associating partners with Allah) and remained distant from tawhid (the oneness of Allah).

Hadith Commentary:
In another narration, there is further clarification that Allah, exalted is He, will say to a disbeliever who is being given a very light punishment:
“If you were given the world and all its possessions, would you offer it as ransom to save yourself from this punishment?” He will reply:
“Yes, I am prepared to do so.”
Allah, exalted is He, will say:
“When you were in the loins of your father, I asked you for something much easier than this—that you not associate anyone with Allah. But you denied everything except shirk (associating partners with Allah).”
