Sayyiduna Zayd bin Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: When this verse was revealed: "Those of the believers who stay behind and those who strive in the way of Allah are not equal," Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him) came and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Is there no concession for me?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No." Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Allah! My eyesight has gone, so grant me a concession." So Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "Other than those who are afflicted with some disability." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that it be written down.
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
