Musnad Abi Ya'la 4848 — she said: The opening verses of Surah Abasa
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ: هَذَا مَا قَرَأْنَا عَلَى هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: " أَنْزَلَ {عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى} [عبس: 1] فِي ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ الْأَعْمَى أَتَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرْشِدْنِي، وَعِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنْ عُظَمَاءِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُعْرِضُ عَنْهُ وَيُقْبِلُ عَلَى الْآخَرِينَ فَيَقُولُ: «أَتَرَوْنَ بِمَا أَقُولُ بَأْسًا؟» فَيَقُولُونَ: لَا. فَفِي هَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ {عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى} [عبس: 1] "
It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that she said: "The opening verses of Surah Abasa, 'He frowned and turned away', were revealed concerning Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him), who was blind. He came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and began to say: 'O Messenger of Allah, guide me.' At that time some influential men from among the chiefs of the polytheists were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began turning away from him (the blind Companion) and turning towards those chiefs, and he asked them: 'Do you see any harm in what I am saying (in my call to the truth)?' They replied: 'No.' It was in this context that Allah Almighty revealed 'He frowned and turned away.'"
