حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي سَهْلُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيُّ : أَنَّهُ رَأَى مَرْوَانَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَأَقْبَلْتُ حَتَّى جَلَسْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ ، فَأَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمْلَى عَلَيْهِ لا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ سورة النساء آية 95 وَالْمُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ سورة النساء آية 95 ، فَجَاءَهُ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ وَهْوَ يُمِلُّهَا عَلَيَّ ، قَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَاللَّهِ لَوْ أَسْتَطِيعُ الْجِهَادَ لَجَاهَدْتُ ، وَكَانَ أَعْمَى ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَفَخِذُهُ عَلَى فَخِذِي فَثَقُلَتْ عَلَيَّ ، حَتَّى خِفْتُ أَنْ تَرُضَّ فَخِذِي ، ثُمَّ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ : غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ سورة النساء آية 95 " .
Narrated Zaid bin Thabit: That the Prophet dictated to him: "Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home) and those who strive and fight in the Cause of Allah." Zaid added: Ibn Um Maktum came while the Prophet was dictating to me and said, "O Allah's Apostle! By Allah, if I had the power to fight (in Allah's Cause), I would," and he was a blind man. So Allah revealed to his Apostle while his thigh was on my thigh, and his thigh became so heavy that I was afraid it might fracture my thigh. Then that state of the Prophet passed and Allah revealed:-- "Except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame etc).

Hadith Commentary:
That is, those who are excused are exempt from this ruling.
With the revelation of these words, Abdullah ibn Umm Maktum (radi Allahu anhu) and other excused individuals were reassured that their status is not less than that of the mujahideen.
However, those who possess the ability but do not participate in jihad cannot attain the rank of the mujahideen.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
In the previous verse, it was mentioned that those who strive (in jihad) and those who remain seated at home cannot be equal. In that, there was no clarification regarding those who are excused (ma‘dhur). Then, when the excused people presented their excuse, additional words were revealed, through which the excused were reassured that their rank is not less than that of the mujahideen, as is mentioned in another hadith. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
“There are some people in Madinah that whenever you travel or cross any valley, they are with you.”
The noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum ajma‘in) asked:
“Even though they are in Madinah?” He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) replied:
“Yes, but these are the people whom an excuse has held back.”
Thus, Allah Ta‘ala accepted the excuse of Abdullah bin Umm Maktum (radi Allahu anhu), but despite this concession, his zeal for jihad was such that, even though he was blind, he endured hardship and participated in many expeditions (ghazawat).
➋
From the first hadith, it is understood that Ibn Umm Maktum (radi Allahu anhu) came at the time when the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was having the verse written down, whereas in the last hadith it is mentioned that he was sitting behind him. There is no contradiction between the two, because Ibn Umm Maktum (radi Allahu anhu) was sitting behind him, and when the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) called the scribe of revelation, Zayd bin Thabit (radi Allahu anhu), for writing, at that time he came forward and presented his excuse, saying that he was blind.
