(19). 3033. Saḥl bin Sa’d As-Sā’idī said: "I saw Marwān bin Al-Ḥakam sitting in the Masjid, so I went over to him until I sat next to him. He informed us that Zaid bin Thābit informed him, that the Prophet ﷺ dictated: ‘Not equal among the believers are those who sit and the Mujāhidīn in the cause of Allāh.’ He said: ‘So Ibn Umm Maktūm came and he was dictating to me that he said: “O Messenger of Allāh! By Allāh! If I were capable of Jihād then I would participate in Jihād.’ And he was a blind man. So Allāh revealed to His Messenger ﷺ – while his thigh was against my thigh – and it became so heavy that I was worried it was about to fracture my thigh. Then he was relieved of it, so Allāh had
revealed to him: Except those who are disabled”’ (Sahīh)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣahīh. [This is how it was reported by more than one narrator from Az-Zuhri, from Sahl bin Sa’d, and it is similar to this. And Ma’mar reported this Hadīth from Az-Zuhri, from Qabisah bin Dhu’aib from Zaid bin Thābit]. And in this Hadīth, there is the narration of a man from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, from a man among the Tābi‘īn. Sahl bin Sa’d Al-Anṣārī reported it from Marwān bin Al-Ḥakam, and Marwan did not hear from the Prophet ﷺ, he was one of the Tābi‘īn.

Commentary
The status of companionship of Marwan bin Hakam is disputed, Al-Bukkhārī said that he did not see the Prophet ﷺ and it is reported that he himself stated that he was not a Companion. (Tuhfat Al-Ahwadhi 4:93)
