[Machine] I was with the Prophet ﷺ when he was covered or the tranquility descended upon him and he sat on my thigh. I did not feel anything heavier than the thigh of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. When I was released or separated from him, he said, "Read." So I read. He said, "Write." [He commanded me], "{Those who sit [at home] and those who strive in the cause of Allah} {are not alike."} 'Amr bin Umm Maktum al-A'wami, the blind man, said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have discomfort in my eyes, so the tranquility covered him and he sat on my thigh. I did not find anything heavier than the thigh of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." When I was released or separated from him, he said, "Read." So I read. He said, "Write," "{Except those who are disabled}." I did not forget its attachment at a crevice in the shoulder.

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَتَغَشَّتْهُ أَوْ فَنَزَلَتِ السَّكِينَةُ فَوَقَعَتْ فَخِذُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى فَخِذِي فَمَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا تَوَطَّأَ أَثْقَلَ مِنْ فَخِذِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا أُسْرِيَ أَوْ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ قَالَ «اقْرَأْ» فَقَرَأْتُ قَالَ «اكْتُبْ» {لَا يَسْتَوِي الْقَاعِدُونَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ} {وَالْمُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ} فَقَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ الْأَعْمَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ بِعَيْنَيَّ ضَرَرًا فَغَشِيَتْهُ السَّكِينَةُ فَوَقَعَتْ فَخِذُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى فَخِذِي فَمَا وَجَدْتُ شَيْئًا قَطُّ أَثْقَلَ مِنْ فَخِذِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا أُسْرِيَ أَوْ سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ قَالَ «اقْرَأْ» فَقَرَأْتُ قَالَ اكْتُبْ {غَيْرُ أُولِي الضَّرَرِ} فَمَا نَسِيتُ مُلْحَقِهَا عِنْدَ صَدَعٍ فِي الْكَتِفِ

Zaid bin Thabit said “I was beside the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ when the divinely-inspired calmness overtook him and the thigh of the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ fell on my thigh. I did not find any weightier than the thigh of the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ. He then regained his composure and said “Write down. I wrote on a shoulder. Not equal are thise believers who sit (at home), other than those who have a (disabling) hurt, and those who strive in the way of Allaah. When Ibn Umm Makhtum who was blind heard the excellence of the warriors. He stood up and said “Apostle of Allaah ﷺ how is it for those believers who are unable to fight (in the path of Allaah)? When he finished his question his divinely-inspired calmness overtook him, and his thigh fell on my thigh and I found its weight the second time as I found the first time.” When the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ regained his composure, he said “Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said “Other than those who have a (disabling hurt). Zaid said “Allaah, the exalted, revealed it alone and I appended it.” By Him in Whose hands is my life, I am seeing, as it were the place where I put it (i.e., the verse) at the crack in the shoulder.”
