It is narrated from Hazrat Urwah bin Zubair, he said: «﴿عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى﴾» was revealed about Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him). He came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Muhammad! Tell me a place near you so that I may sit there. And at that time, a man from among the prominent men of the polytheists (either Ubayy bin Khalaf or Utbah bin Rabi'ah) was sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not pay attention to Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), but rather turned his attention to that man and said: "O father of so-and-so! Is there any fault in what I am saying?" He would say: No, by the idols! There is no fault in what you are saying. Then these verses were revealed: «﴿عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى، أَنْ جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَى﴾» [عبس: 1، 2] .
