Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ، قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ ‏‏{‏ لاَ يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ‏}‏ جَاءَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ وَكَانَ أَعْمَى فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَكَيْفَ فِيَّ وَأَنَا أَعْمَى قَالَ فَمَا بَرِحَ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ ‏‏{‏ غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ ‏}‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Muhammad ibn Ubayd informed us; he said: Abu Bakr ibn Ayyash narrated to us, from Abu Ishaq, from al-Bara, who said: When the verse Those of the believers who sit back are not equal was revealed, Ibn Umm Maktum came—he was blind—and said: Messenger of Allah, what about me, since I am blind? He remained there until the words Except for those with disabilities were revealed.
