وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ
هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : أُنْزِلَتْ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى فِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ اسْتَدْنِينِي ، وَعِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ عُظَمَاءِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ، فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعْرِضُ عَنْهُ وَيُقْبِلُ عَلَى الْآخَرِ ، وَيَقُولُ : " يَا أَبَا فُلَانٍ
هَلْ تَرَى بِمَا أَقُولُ بَأْسًا ؟ " فَيَقُولُ : لَا وَالدِّمَاءِ مَا أَرَى بِمَا تَقُولُ بَأْسًا ، فَأُنْزِلَتْ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى { 1 } أَنْ جَاءَهُ الأَعْمَى سورة عبس آية 1-2
It is narrated from Hazrat Urwah bin Zubair, he said: «﴿عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى﴾» was revealed about Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him). He came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Muhammad! Tell me a place near you so that I may sit there. And at that time, a man from among the prominent men of the polytheists (either Ubayy bin Khalaf or Utbah bin Rabi'ah) was sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not pay attention to Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), but rather turned his attention to that man and said: "O father of so-and-so! Is there any fault in what I am saying?" He would say: No, by the idols! There is no fault in what you are saying. Then these verses were revealed: «﴿عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى، أَنْ جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَى﴾» [عبس: 1، 2].
