I was thinking that maybe Allah (swt) had not intended to add 'except those who are disabled ' because it is something that is obvious given that Allah (swt) is Merciful and all.

You're thinking of Allah

in human terms (nauzubillah), which is a grave mistake. "Intentions" and the like do not apply to Allah

. Allah

does not "intend" to do one thing and then "change" His "intention" based on circumstances. He is above all of that. He does not live in the past, present, or future. He has already seen every single thing which will happen, as you will see many places in the Quran, future events are described in a "present" or even a "past" tense. So we can't say things like "what if" Allah

'intended' to do 'X' but then such and such situation happened so He 'ended up' doing 'Y' instead or 'changed' His decision from 'X' to 'Y' based on circumstances or situations. No, absolutely not. Allah is above all of that.

I think you should spend more time trying to ponder over Allah's

greatness and how He is above anything which a human mind can comprehend, rather than trying to make sense of things in a 'human' way. Like I said, if you are going to use the logic that you're trying to use, then one can just say "why was anything ever created and why weren't we all just put into our final destinations in the first place", etc. The logic is faulty.

Also, the question you asked in the OP is actually fairly easy to answer and understand, as was done in some subsequent replies to your OP. So I would recommend you read all the replies a few times each and ponder over them, especially post #3 by brother TripolySunni.

Allah knows best and may He help all of us understand. Ameen.
