3101. It was narrated that Saḥl bin Sa'd said: "I saw Marwân bin Al-Ḥakam sitting and I came and sat with him. He told us that Zaid bin Thâbit told him, that the following was revealed to Allâh's Messenger ﷺ: (Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home) and those who strive hard and fight in the cause of Allâh), then Ibn Umm Maktûm came when he was dictating it to me (Zaid), and said: 'O Messenger of Allâh! If I were able to go for Jihâd I would go out for Jihâd.' Then Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed to him - while his thigh was against mine, and became so heavy that I thought my thigh would break, until (the revelation) stopped - : 'Except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame).'"[1] (Saḥih)
Abû 'Abdur-Raḥmân (An-Nasâ'î) said: This 'Abdur-Raḥmân bin Ishâq is tolerable, while 'Abdur-Raḥmân bin Ishâq, from whom reports 'Alî bin Mushir, Abû Mu'âwiyah, and 'Abdul-Wâhid bin Ziyâd from An-Nu'mân bin Sa'd - he is not trustworthy.

Commentary
Ibn Maktûm was blind. A blind man is called 'Maktûm' in Arabic. There is a
disagreement concerning his real name. The majority of researchers have shown it to be Abdullah. Some have stated 'Umar also. And Allâh knows best!
