Rahim knows what Amir did to Hassan all those years ago. He needs a favor of Amir, and he realizes that the only way to get him to travel to Pakistan is to hit him where it hurts. In this statement there was definitely a connotation of "Hassan was so good to you and you betrayed him. Here's your last shot at making that up to him". I think this really ties into the theme of guilt and it might bring everything full circle. It transitioned from jealously, guilt and I predict it will end with forgiveness because of the opportunity Rahim is giving to Amir. It all depends on whether or not Amir takes on the challenge presented to him or not.
