حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ يَقُولُ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَفَضَّلَ اللهُ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ عَلَى الْقَاعِدِينَ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا} [النساء 95] أَتَاهُ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَقَالَ
لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ وَفَضَّلَ اللهُ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ عَلَى الْقَاعِدِينَ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا أَتَاهُ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، مَا تَأْمُرُنِي ؟ إِنِّي ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ قَالَ: فَنَزَلَتْ غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ قَالَ: فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: ائْتُونِي بِالْكَتِفِ وَالدَّوَاةِ - أَوِ اللَّوْحِ وَالدَّوَاةِ.

✧ When this verse was revealed, “And Allah has preferred the strivers over those who sit back with a great reward” (Q 4:95), Ibn Umm Maktūm came to him and said, “O Messenger of Allah, what do you command me? Indeed, I am blind.” He said: Then it was revealed, “other than those having a disability” (Q 4:95). He said: The Prophet ﷺ said, “Bring me the shoulder blade and the inkwell” – or “the tablet and the inkwell.”
