Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 9404 — I went to the Mother of the Believers

حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ خَلَفٍ ، نَا أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ، نَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي الْبِلَادِ ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ صُبَيْحٍ ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ ، قَالَ : دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ وَعِنْدَهَا رَجُلٌ مَكْفُوفٌ ، تُقَطِّعُ لَهُ الْأُتْرُجَّ وَتُطْعِمُهُ إِيَّاهُ بِالْعَسَلِ ، فَقُلْتُ : مَنْ هَذَا يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؟ قَالَتْ : هَذَا ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ ، أَقْبَلَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَعِنْدَهُ عُتْبَةُ وَشَيْبَةُ ، فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِمَا ، فَنَزَلَتْ : عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى أَنْ جَاءَهُ الأَعْمَى قَالَتِ : ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ .
لَمْ يَرْوِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ أَبِي الْبِلَادِ ، عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ صُبَيْحٍ إِلَّا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَنْصَارِيُّ .
Masruq (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I went to the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), and with her was a blind man; she was cutting citron (utrujj, a citrus fruit) for him and feeding it to him with honey. I asked: "O Mother of the Believers! Who is this?" She said: "This is Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him). He came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while Utbah and Shaybah were with him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) kept his attention on the two of them, so this verse was revealed: 'He frowned and turned away, because the blind man came to him.'" Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "The blind man meant here is Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him)."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Abu al-Bilad, from Muslim bin Subayh, except Ahmad bin Bashir, and Abu Musa al-Ansari is alone in narrating it."
