Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَن الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ ادْعُوا إِلَيَّ زَيْدًا يَجِيءُ أَوْ يَأْتِي بِالْكَتِفِ وَالدَّوَاةِ أَوْ اللَّوْحِ وَالدَّوَاةِ كَتَبَ لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنْ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ هَكَذَا نَزَلَتْ قَالَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ وَهُوَ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ بِعَيْنَيَّ ضَرَرًا قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْرَحَ { غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ }.
English Translation
Hashim ibn al-Qasim said, Zuhayr told us, Abu Ishaq told us, from al-Bara' ibn Azib, who said: I was with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and he said: "Call Zayd to me, let him come" - or "let him bring the shoulder-bone and the inkwell" - or "the tablet and the inkwell." He wrote: "Not equal are those believers who sit at home and those who strive in the path of Allah." He said: "Thus it was revealed." Then Ibn Umm Maktum, who was behind him, said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have an impairment in my eyes." He said: Then, before he had moved, "except those who have a hardship" was revealed.
