حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنْ خَارِجَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ: إِنِّي قَاعِدٌ إِلَى جَنْبِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا إِذْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيْهِ، قَالَ: وَغَشِيَتْهُ السَّكِينَةُ، وَوَقَعَ فَخِذُهُ عَلَى فَخِذِي حِينَ غَشِيَتْهُ السَّكِينَةُ، قَالَ زَيْدٌ: فَلَا وَاللهِ مَا وَجَدْتُ شَيْئًا قَطُّ أَثْقَلَ مِنْ فَخِذِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: "اكْتُبْ يَا زَيْدُ " فَأَخَذْتُ كَتِفًا، فَقَالَ: "اكْتُبْ {لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} [النساء: ٩٥] {وَالْمُجَاهِدُونَ} [النساء: ٩٥] ، الْآيَةَ كُلَّهَا إِلَى قَوْلِهِ،: {أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا} [النساء: ٤٠] " فَكَتَبْتُ ذَلِكَ فِي كَتِفٍ، فَقَامَ حِينَ سَمِعَهَا ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ، وَكَانَ رَجُلًا أَعْمَى، فَقَامَ حِينَ سَمِعَ فَضِيلَةَ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَكَيْفَ بِمَنْ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ الْجِهَادَ مِمَّنْ هُوَ، ، أَعْمَى وَأَشْبَاهِ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ زَيْدٌ: فَوَاللهِ مَا قَضَى (١) كَلَامَهُ، أَوْ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ قَضَى كَلَامَهُ، غَشِيَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ السَّكِينَةُ، فَوَقَعَتْ فَخِذُهُ عَلَى فَخِذِي، فَوَجَدْتُ مِنْ ثِقَلِهَا كَمَا وَجَدْتُ فِي الْمَرَّةِ الْأُولَى، ثُمَّ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: "اقْرَأْ " فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ {لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} [النساء: ٩٥] {وَالْمُجَاهِدُونَ} [النساء: ٩٥] فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: {غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ} [النساء: ٩٥] " فَأَلْحَقْتُهَا، فَوَاللهِ لَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى مُلْحَقِهَا عِنْدَ صَدْعٍ كَانَ فِي الْكَتِفِ (٢)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day I was sitting beside the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) when revelation began to descend upon him and tranquility covered him. During this, the thigh of the Prophet (ﷺ) came upon my thigh. By Allah! I have never found anything heavier than the thigh of the Prophet (ﷺ) in that state. Then that condition passed, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Zaid! Write." I took a shoulder blade bone and the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Write: 'Laa yastawee al-qa'idoon... ajran azeema.'" I wrote it down. Upon hearing this verse and the virtue of the Mujahideen, Abdullah bin Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him), who was blind, stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), what is the ruling for the person who cannot participate in jihad, such as the blind and others?" By Allah, his statement was not yet complete when tranquility again began to cover the Prophet (ﷺ), and the thigh of the Prophet (ﷺ) came upon my thigh, and I felt the same heaviness as before. Then that condition passed, and the Prophet (ﷺ) said to me, "Recite that verse." So I recited it, and the Prophet (ﷺ) included in it the words "ghayru olee ad-darar," which I added to it, and it is as if it is still before my eyes.
