(1). 3331. 'Aishah narrated: "He frowned and turned away"[1] was revealed about Ibn Umm Maktūm the blind man. He came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying: 'O Messenger of Allāh! Guide me.' At that time, there was a revered man from the idolaters with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ turned away
from him, and faced the other man, saying: 'Do you think that there is something wrong with what I am saying?' He said: 'No.' So it was about this that it was revealed." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Hasan Gharīb. Some of them reported this Ḥadīth from Hishām bin 'Urwah, from his father, who said: "He frowned and turned away was revealed about Ibn Umm Maktūm" and he did not mention 'Āishah in it.

Commentary
The aim of this Verse is that the preacher and reformer should have the focal attention on such people who have the quest for reform and change, and they attend the spiritual gathering of knowledge eagerly and enthusiastically. Pursue not much the ones who are careless, and show pride and boastfulness.
