4592. Narrated Zaid bin Thābit that the Prophet ﷺ dictated to him: “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 added: Ibn Umm Maktūm came while the Prophet ﷺ was dictating to me and said, “O Allāh’s Messenger! By Allāh, if I had the power to fight (in Allāh’s Cause), I would,” and he was a blind man. So, Allāh revealed to His Messenger ﷺ while his thigh was on my thigh, and his thigh became so heavy that I was afraid it might fracture my thigh. Then that state of the Prophet ﷺ was over and Allāh revealed : “...Except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame)...” (V.4:95)

4592 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي سَهْلُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيُّ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى مَرْوَانَ بْنَ الحَكَمِ فِي المَسْجِدِ، فَأَقْبَلْتُ حَتَّى جَلَسْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ، فَأَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ أَخْبَرَهُ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمْلَى عَلَيْهِ: {لاَ يَسْتَوِي القَاعِدُونَ مِنَ المُؤْمِنِينَ} [النساء: 95] {وَالمُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ} [النساء: 95]، فَجَاءَهُ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ وَهْوَ يُمِلُّهَا عَلَيَّ، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَاللَّهِ لَوْ أَسْتَطِيعُ الجِهَادَ لَجَاهَدْتُ، وَكَانَ أَعْمَى، «فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَفَخِذُهُ عَلَى فَخِذِي، فَثَقُلَتْ عَلَيَّ حَتَّى خِفْتُ أَنْ تَرُضَّ فَخِذِي، ثُمَّ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ»، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ: (غَيْرَ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ)
