حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَحْيَی بْنِ سَعيدٍ الْأَمَوِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ هَذَا مَا عَرَضْنَا عَلَی هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ أُنْزِلَ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّی فِي ابْنِ أُمِّ مَکْتُومٍ الْأَعْمَی أَتَی رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرْشِدْنِي وَعِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ عُظَمَائِ الْمُشْرِکِينَ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُعْرِضُ عَنْهُ وَيُقْبِلُ عَلَی الْآخَرِ وَيَقُولُ أَتَرَی بِمَا أَقُولُ بَأْسًا فَيَقُولُ لَا فَفِي هَذَا أُنْزِلَ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ وَرَوَی بَعْضُهُمْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ أُنْزِلَ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّی فِي ابْنِ أُمِّ مَکْتُومٍ وَلَمْ يَذْکُرْ فِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 3331
Aishah narrated: “He frowned and turned away” was revealed about Ibn Umm Maktum the blind man. He came to the Messenger of Allah saying: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Guide me.’ At that time, there was a revered man from the idolaters with the Messenger of Allah. So the Messenger of Allah turned away from him and faced the other man, saying: ‘Do you think that there is something wrong with what I am saying?’ He said: ‘No.’ So it was about that that it was revealed.”
