Sahih al-Bukhari 2832 (Book 56, Hadith 48) #2708
Striving Hard for the Cause of Allah

SUMMARY: This hadith explains how Allah revealed a verse in the Quran to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that not all believers are equal, some strive hard and fight in the cause of Allah with their wealth and lives while others are disabled.

Narrated Sahl bin Sa'd As-Sa'idi: I saw Marwan bin Al-Hakam sitting in the Mosque. So I came forward and sat by his side. He told us that Zaid bin Thabit had told him that Allah's Messenger ﷺ had dictated to him the Divine Verse: "Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and those who strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allah with their wealth and lives'. (4:95) Zaid said, "Ibn-Maktum came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was dictating to me that very Verse. On that Ibn Um Maktum said, "O Allah's Messenger ﷺ! If I had power, I would surely take part in Jihad". He was a blind man. So Allah sent down revelation to His Apostle while his thigh was on mine and it became so heavy for me that I feared that my thigh would be broken. Then that state of the Prophet ﷺ was over after Allah revealed ".except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame etc) (4:95)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي صَالِحُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ مَرْوَانَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ جَالِسًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَأَقْبَلْتُ حَتَّى جَلَسْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ، فَأَخْبَرَنَا أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ ثَابِتٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمْلَى عَلَيْهِ لاَ يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَجَاءَهُ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ وَهُوَ يُمِلُّهَا عَلَىَّ، فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، لَوْ أَسْتَطِيعُ الْجِهَادَ لَجَاهَدْتُ‏.‏ وَكَانَ رَجُلاً أَعْمَى، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى عَلَى رَسُولِهِ ﷺ وَفَخِذُهُ عَلَى فَخِذِي، فَثَقُلَتْ عَلَىَّ حَتَّى خِفْتُ أَنْ تَرُضَّ فَخِذِي، ثُمَّ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏{‏غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ‏}‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about striving hard for the cause of Allah. It tells us that not all believers are equal, some strive hard and fight in the cause of Allah with their wealth and lives while others are disabled. The hadith also mentions how Ibn Um Maktum was a blind man who wished he could take part in Jihad but was unable to due to his disability. In response, Allah revealed a verse from the Quran which stated that those who were disabled were exempt from fighting in Jihad. This teaches us that we should strive hard for our faith even if we have physical disabilities or limitations as everyone has something they can do to help spread Islam's message. We should also be mindful of those who may be physically limited or unable to participate due to their circumstances as they still have an important role within our community.
