Narrated Al-Bara: When the Divine Inspiration: Those of the believers who sit (at home), was revealed the Prophet sent for Zaid (bin Thabit) who came with a shoulder-blade and wrote on it. Ibn Um-Maktum complained about his blindness and on that the following revelation came: Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) except those who are disabled (by injury, or are blind or lame etc.) and those who strive hard and fight in the Way of Allah with their wealth and lives).

He told us that Zaid bin Thabit had told him that Allah's Apostle 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 while he was dictating to me that very Verse. On that Ibn Um Maktum said, O Allah's Apostle! If I had power, I would surely take part in Jihad.

Then that state of the Prophet was over after Allah revealed ...except those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame etc.) (4.95)
