أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ عَنْ الْبَرَاءِ قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنْ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ جَاءَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ وَكَانَ أَعْمَى فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَكَيْفَ فِيَّ وَأَنَا أَعْمَى قَالَ فَمَا بَرِحَ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 3110
It was narrated that Al-Bara’ said: “When the following was revealed: ‘Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home),’ Ibn Umm Maktum, who was blind, came and said: ‘Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, what about me? I am blind.’ He said: ‘He did not leave before the following was revealed: Except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame).” (Sahih)
