Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ كَلِمَةً مَعْنَاهَا قَالَ ‏ "‏ ائْتُونِي بِالْكَتِفِ وَاللَّوْحِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَكَتَبَ ‏‏{‏ لاَ يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ‏}‏ وَعَمْرُو بْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ خَلْفَهُ فَقَالَ هَلْ لِي رُخْصَةٌ فَنَزَلَتْ ‏‏{‏ غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ ‏}‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Nasr ibn Ali informed us; he said: Mutamir narrated to us, from his father, from Abu Ishaq, from al-Bara, that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)—then he mentioned words to this effect—said: Bring me the shoulder blade and the tablet. He then wrote: Those of the believers who sit back are not equal. Amr ibn Umm Maktum was behind him and said: Is there an exemption for me? Then the words Except for those with disabilities were revealed.
