It is narrated from Muhammad bin Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) that he said: Allah Almighty sent Shu'ayb bin Mika'il, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), as a prophet, and his story and the story of his people is what Allah Almighty has related in the Glorious Qur'an. Whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned him, he would say: "He is the orator of the prophets." He said this because he had addressed and argued with his people in the finest manner.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: 'And indeed, we see you among us as weak' [Surah Hud: 91] , that he said: "(What is meant is that) Shu'ayb (peace be upon him) was blind." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim.
