حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ الْکَرِيمِ سَمِعَ مِقْسَمًا مَوْلَی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنْ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ عَنْ بَدْرٍ وَالْخَارِجُونَ إِلَی بَدْرٍ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ غَزْوَةُ بَدْرٍ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَحْشِ وَابْنُ أُمِّ مَکْتُومٍ إِنَّا أَعْمَيَانِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَهَلْ لَنَا رُخْصَةٌ فَنَزَلَتْ لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنْ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ وَ فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ عَلَی الْقَاعِدِينَ دَرَجَةً فَهَؤُلَائِ الْقَاعِدُونَ غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ وَفَضَّلَ اللَّهُ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ عَلَی الْقَاعِدِينَ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا دَرَجَاتٍ مِنْهُ عَلَی الْقَاعِدِينَ مِنْ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ غَيْرِ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَمِقْسَمٌ يُقَالُ هُوَ مَوْلَی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ وَيُقَالُ هُوَ مَوْلَی ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَکُنْيَتُهُ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 3032
Narrated Miqsam, the freed slave of 'Abdullah bin Al-Harith: from Ibn 'Abbas that he said the Ayah: Not equal are those of the believers who sit, except those who are disabled... (4:95) is about Badr and those went out for Badr. At the time of the battle of Badr, 'Abdullah bin Jahsh and Ibn Umm Maktum said: 'We are blind O Messenger of Allah! So is there an exemption for us?' So the following was revealed: Not equal are those of the believers who sit except those who are disabled. But Allah has preferred those who strive hard and fight above those who sit (at home) by a huge reward (4:95). So these were the people who sat behind, that were not disabled: But Allah has preferred those who strive hard and fight, above those who sit (at home) by a huge reward - they are of levels above those who sit among the believers who did not have an excuse.
