“The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: ‘Take us to the man with vision who lives in Banu Waaqif so that we can visit him.’ And that man was blind.”
Jaabir ibn `Abdullaah said:
“The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: ‘Take us to the man with vision who lives in Banu Waaqif so that we can visit him.’ And that man was blind.”
Sufyaan (a Companion) said: “They (Banu Waaqif) were an area wheresome of the Ansaar used to reside.”
So the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, used a very gentle term in order to not hurt the man’s feelings.
