Sayyidah Ayshah (RA) narrated : The surah Abasa was revealed concerning Ibn Umm Maktum, the blind sahabi. He came to Allah’s Messenger (SAW) of and kept saying, “O Messenger Allah, guide me. While he had a man from among the elite polytheists." Allah’s Messenger turned away from him (or, neglected him) and paid attention to the other (the polytheist), saying, “Is there anything wrong in what I say?” And, he said, “No.” So it was about this that the surah was revealed.
