It is narrated from Abu Ishaq that he heard Sayyiduna Bara’ saying about this verse {لَا یَسْتَوِی الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنْ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ وَالْمُجَاہِدُونَ فِی سَبِیلِ اللّٰہِ}: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered Sayyiduna Zayd, so he came and wrote this verse on a shoulder blade. When Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum, may Allah be pleased with him, mentioned his blindness, these verses were revealed: {لَا یَسْتَوِی الْقَاعِدُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِیْنَ غَیْرُ اُوْلِی الضَّرَرِ}.

(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: When this verse was revealed {وَفَضَّلَ اللّٰہُ الْمُجَاہِدِینَ عَلَی الْقَاعِدِینَ أَ جْرًا عَظِیمًا}, Sayyiduna Ibn Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I am blind, so what is the command for me? In the meantime, these words were revealed: {غَیْرُ أُولِی الضَّرَرِ}. In one narration it is stated: You were still in that very place when this verse was revealed, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Bring me the shoulder blade and inkpot or the tablet and inkpot.
