حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ يَقُولُ: لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: {وَفَضَّلَ اللهُ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ عَلَى الْقَاعِدِينَ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا} [النساء: ٩٥] أَتَاهُ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا تَأْمُرُنِي؟ إِنِّي ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ، قَالَ: فَنَزَلَتْ: {غَيْرُ أُولِي} [النساء: ٩٥] الضَّرَرِ قَالَ: فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " ائْتُونِي بِالْكَتِفِ وَالدَّوَاةِ، أَوِ اللَّوْحِ وَالدَّوَاةِ، " (١)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the beginning, this verse of the Noble Qur’an was revealed: “Those among the Muslims who sit (without participating in jihad) and those who strive in the way of Allah are not equal.” The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) called Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) and ordered him to bring a shoulder bone, and he wrote this verse on it. Upon this, Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him) complained about his blindness, so the words “except those who are disabled” were further revealed in this verse, and the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Bring me a shoulder bone or a tablet and an inkwell.”
