I entered upon ʿĀʾishah and there was a blind man with her and she was cutting up utruj (a ctirus fruit) and serving it to him with honey. Then I asked her, "Who is this man, O Mother of the Believers?" She then said, "This is Umm Maktūm, the one on whose behalf Allah ﷻ admonished his Prophet ﷺ " She said ˹that once˺, "Umm Maktūm came to the Prophet ﷺ and with him were ʿUtbah and Shaybah. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ faced them ˹despite Umm Maktūm.˺ Then ˹the āyāt˺ were revealed: "He frowned and turned away; When the blind man came to him." (ʿAbasa 80:1-2) ˹who was˺ Umm Maktūm.  

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَائِشَةَ وَعِنْدَهَا رَجُلٌ مَكْفُوفٌ وَهِيَ تُقَطِّعُ لَهُ الْأُتْرُجَّ وَتُطْعِمُهُ إِيَّاهُ بِالْعَسَلِ۔ فَقُلْتُ: مَنْ هَذَا يَا أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ فَقَالَتْ «هَذَا ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ الَّذِي عَاتَبَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى فِيهِ نَبِيَّهُ ﷺ» قَالَتْ «أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ وَعِنْدَهُ عُتْبَةُ وَشَيْبَةُ۔ فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَيْهِمَا، فَنَزَلَتْ ﴿عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى أَنْ جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَى﴾ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ۔»
