Bayhaqi 17817 — One who excuses himself from jihad due to weakness

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، أنبأ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثنا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ شَرِيكٍ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ، ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، أَنَّ خَارِجَةَ بْنَ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ حَدَّثَهُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ السَّكِينَةَ غَشِيَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ زَيْدٌ: وَأَنَا إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَوَقَعَتْ فَخِذُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى فَخِذِي فَمَا وَجَدْتُ شَيْئًا أَثْقَلَ مِنْ فَخِذِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثُمَّ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: " اكْتُبْ: {لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ وَالْمُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنْفُسِهِمْ} [النساء: ٩٥]، الْآيَةَ كُلَّهَا. قَالَ زَيْدٌ: فَكَتَبْتُ ذَلِكَ فِي كَتِفٍ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ، وَكَانَ رَجُلًا أَعْمَى حِينَ سَمِعَ فَضِيلَةَ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ عَلَى الْقَاعِدِينَ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كَيْفَ بِمَنْ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ الْجِهَادَ مَعَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ قَالَ: فَمَا قَضَى ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ كَلَامَهُ أَوْ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ قَضَى كَلَامَهُ، فَغَشِيَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ السَّكِينَةُ، فَوَقَعَتْ فَخِذُهُ عَلَى فَخِذِي فَوَجَدْتُ مِنْ ثِقَلِهَا الْمَرَّةَ مِثْلَمَا وَجَدْتُ مِنْ ثِقَلِهَا فِي الْمَرَّةِ الْأُولَى، ثُمَّ سُرِّيَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " اقْرَأْ "، فَقَرَأْتُ: {لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} [النساء: ٩٥]، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: {غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ} [النساء: ٩٥]. قَالَ زَيْدٌ: فَأَلْحَقْتُهَا وَكَانَ مَلْحَقُهَا عِنْدَ صَدْعٍ فِي الْكَتِفِ.
Kharijah bin Zayd bin Thabit (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father that he said: Tranquillity (sakinah) covered the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while I was at his (peace and blessings be upon him) side. The thigh of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) fell upon my thigh, and I never found anything heavier than the thigh of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then, when this state of his (peace and blessings be upon him) passed, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Write: 'Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home), other than those with a disability, and those who strive in the path of Allah with their wealth and their lives. Allah has preferred those who strive with their wealth and their lives' [Surah al-Nisa: 95]," the whole verse. Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I wrote this verse on a shoulder blade. Then Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him), who was a blind man, stood up when he heard the superiority of the mujahidin over those who sit back, and said: "O Messenger of Allah, what about a man who does not have the strength to wage jihad along with the believers?" Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him) had not yet finished his words when tranquillity again covered the Noble Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and his (peace and blessings be upon him) thigh came upon my thigh, and this time too I felt the same heaviness as I had felt the first time. Then this state of his (peace and blessings be upon him) passed, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Read." So I read: "Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home)." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Other than those with a disability." Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I joined this fragment to the verse, and this fragment was written on the strong bone of the shoulder blade.
