(18). 3032. Miqsam, the freed slave of 'Abdullāh bin Al-Ĥārith, narrated from Ibn 'Abbās that he said the Āyah: Not equal are those of the believers who sit, except those who are disabled...[1] is about Badr and those who went out for Badr. At the time of the battle of Badr, 'Abdullāh bin Jahsh and Ibn Umm Maktūm said: 'We are blind O Messenger of Allāh! So is there an exemption for us?' So the following was revealed: Not equal are those of the believers who sit except those who are disabled. But Allāh has preferred those who strive hard and fight above those who sit (at home) by a huge reward.[2] So these were the people who sat behind, that were not disabled: But Allāh has preferred those who strive hard and fight, above those who sit (at home) by a huge reward – they are
of levels above those who sit among the believers who did not have an excuse.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)
