80.1-10

عَبَسَ وَ تَوَلّٰۤىۙ (1) اَنْ جَآءَهُ الْاَعْمٰىﭤ(2) وَ مَا یُدْرِیْكَ لَعَلَّهٗ یَزَّ كّٰۤىۙ (3) اَوْ یَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنْفَعَهُ الذِّكْرٰىﭤ(4) اَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنٰىۙ (5) فَاَنْتَ لَهٗ تَصَدّٰىﭤ(6) وَ مَا عَلَیْكَ اَلَّا یَزَّ كّٰىﭤ(7) وَ اَمَّا مَنْ جَآءَكَ یَسْعٰىۙ (8) وَ هُوَ یَخْشٰىۙ (9) فَاَنْتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهّٰىۚ (10)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

(The Beloved Prophet) frowned and turned away. Upon this; that the blind man who came to his august court. And what do you know? He (i.e. the blind man - 'Abdullah Bin Umme Maktoom) may become pure (from his shortcomings). Or that he may accept advice, so that the advice may benefit him. He who does not care (who thinks about himself being self-sufficient through wealth; such as Abu Jahl, Utbah and Umayyah, etc.). You really pay attention to him. And you have nothing to lose if he (i.e. the disbeliever) does not become pure. And he who came to you running. And he is fearing (Allah). So, you leave him and are occupied elsewhere.

Commentary

In the first ten verses of this Surah, Allah Almighty mentioned the greatness of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and one aspect of him being the beloved of Allah; when the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم used his independent reasoning to consider one act as more important and gave it preference over another act, Allah Almighty instructed the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in a beautifully subtle way.

This blind individual was Sayyidunā ʿAbdullāh ibn Umm Maktūm رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ and by referring to him as blind, there is an indication towards his disability.
