2832. Narrated Saḥl bin Sa'd As-Sā'idī: I saw Marwān bin Al-Ḥakam sitting in the mosque. So, I came forward and sat by his side. He told us that Zaid bin Thābit had told him that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ had dictated to him the Divine Verse: "Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home) and those who strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allāh." (V.4:95) Zaid said, "Ibn Umm Maktūm came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was dictating to me that very Verse. On that Ibn Umm Maktūm said, "O Allāh's Messenger! If I had power, I would surely take part in Jihād." He was a blind man. So Allāh تعالى sent down the revelation to His Messenger ﷺ while his thigh was on mine and it became so heavy for me that I feared that my thigh would be broken. Then that state of the Prophet ﷺ was over after Allāh revealed "... except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame)." (V.4:95)
