[4911] 141 - (1898) It was narrated from Abū Ishāq that he heard Al-Barā' say concerning the Verse: "Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home), except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame), and those who strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allāh."[1] The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ ordered Zaid to bring a shoulder blade and he wrote it down. Ibn Umm Maktūm complained to him about his being blind, and it was revealed: "Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home), except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame), and those who strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allâh.[1] Shu'bah said: "Sa'd bin Ibrâhîm told me, from a man, from Zaid bin Thâbit, concerning this Verse: 'Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home)...,' a Hadîth like that of Al-Barâ'. And Ibn Bash-shâr said in his report: "Sa'd bin Ibrâhîm, from his father, from a man, from Zaid bin Thâbit."
