Quiz time(67): Who was that Sahabhi, when Muhammed(pbuh) frown & turn away from him, then Allah revealed 12 verses for him ?

 

 

Ans: Abdullaah Ibn Umm Maktoom (may Allah be pleased with him).

 

 

The Prophet (pbuh) was concentrating on the Quraysh notables and was eager for them to become Muslims. On one particular day, he met 'Utbah Ibn Rabee'ah and his brother Shaybah, 'Amr Ibn Hishaam, better known as Abu Jahl, Umayyah Ibn Khalaf and Waleed Ibn Mugheerah, the father of Khaalid Ibn Al-Waleed, may Allah be pleased with him, who was later to be known as Sayfullaah or 'the Sword of Allah'.

He (pbuh)  had begun talking and negotiating with them and telling them about Islam. He (pbuh)  wished that they would respond positively to him and accept Islam or at least call off their persecution of his Companions.

While the Prophet (pbuh)  was thus engaged, 'Abdullaah Ibn Umm Maktoom, may Allah be pleased with him, came up and asked him to read a verse from the Quran. "O Messenger of Allah," he said, "teach me from what Allah has taught you."

The Prophet (pbuh)  frowned and turned away from him. He (pbuh)  turned his attention instead to the prestigious group of Quraysh, hoping that they would become Muslims and that by their acceptance of Islam they would bring greatness to the religion of Allah and strengthen his mission.

As soon as he (pbuh)  had finished speaking to them and had left their company, he suddenly felt partially blinded and his head began to throb violently. At this point the following revelation came to him (what means): "He (i.e., the Prophet (pbuh) ) frowned and turned away because there came to him the blind man, (interrupting). But what would make you perceive, (O Muhammad), that perhaps he might be purified, or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him? As for he who thinks himself without need, to him you give attention. And not upon you (is any blame) if he will not be purified. But as for he who came to you striving (for knowledge) while he fears Allah, from him you are distracted. No! Indeed, they (i.e., theses verses) are a reminder; so whoever wills may remember it". [Quran 80: 1-12].

 

 

These are the verses which were revealed to the noble Prophet (pbuh)  about 'Abdullaah Ibn Umm Maktoom, may Allah be pleased with him. These verses have continued to be recited from that time till today and shall continue to be recited by all who read the Quran.
