عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ﴿١﴾أَن جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ
80:1-8 It is narrated that a blind man (Ibn Umm-i-Maktûm) approached the Holy Prophet (pbuh) with some questions. The Holy Prophet (pbuh) was busy discussing his message with some nobles of Makkah. He felt interrupted and “frowned” (عَبَس). In this situation these verses were revealed. The Holy Prophet (pbuh) realized that he was not kind to the blind man. He approached Ibn Umm-i-Maktûm and treated him with all due respect according to the traditions of that time. This incident is a proof that the Holy Prophet (pbuh) himself acted according to the Divine Revelation as soon as it was revealed.
