[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, what do you command me? I am blind." He said, so the verse (Surah An-Nisa 95) was revealed: "Not equal are those believers remaining [at home] - other than the disabled." He said, then the Prophet ﷺ said, "Bring me a shoulder and a medicine or a plank and a medicine."  

أحمد:١٨٦٤٨حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ يَقُولُ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {وَفَضَّلَ اللهُ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ عَلَى الْقَاعِدِينَ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا} [النساء 95] أَتَاهُ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ فَقَالَ

يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا تَأْمُرُنِي؟ إِنِّي ضَرِيرُ الْبَصَرِ قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ {غَيْرُ أُولِي} [النساء 95] الضَّرَرِ قَالَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ائْتُونِي بِالْكَتِفِ وَالدَّوَاةِ أَوِ اللَّوْحِ وَالدَّوَاةِ

"When the following was revealed: 'Not equal are those of the believers who sit (4:95)' 'Amr bin Umm Maktum came to the Prophet ﷺ." He said: "He was blind, so he said: 'O Messenger of Allah! What do you order me with? Indeed my vision is disabled.' So Allah [Most High] revealed this Ayah: 'Except those who are disabled.' So the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Bring me a shoulder bone and inkwell' - or 'Bring me a tablet and an inkwell.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3031)
