The lagging behind of al-Jadd and what was revealed concerning him
[ تَخَلِّفَ الْجَدِّ وَمَا نَزَلَ فِيهِ في غزوة تبوك ] فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَهُوَ فِي جِهَازِهِ ذَلِكَ لِلْجَدِّ بْنِ قِيسٍ أَحَدِ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ: يَا جَدُّ، هَلْ لَكَ الْعَامَ فِي جِلَادِ بَنِي الْأَصْفَرِ ؟ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَوْ تَأْذَنُ لِي وَلَا تَفْتِنِّي ؟ فَوَاَللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَرَفَ قَوْمِي أَنَّهُ مَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ بِأَشَدَّ عُجْبًا بِالنِّسَاءِ مِنِّي، وَإِنِّي أَخْشَى إنْ رَأَيْتَ نِسَاءَ بَنِي الْأَصْفَرِ أَنْ لَا أَصْبِرَ، فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالَ: قَدْ أَذِنْتُ لَكَ فَفِي الْجَدِّ بْنِ قِيسٍ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ: وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ ائْذَنْ لِي وَلَا تَفْتِنِّي أَلَا فِي الْفِتْنَةِ سَقَطُوا وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِيطَةٌ بِالْكَافِرِينَ أَيْ إنْ كَانَ إنَّمَا خَشَى الْفِتْنَةَ مِنْ نِسَاءِ بَنِي الْأَصْفَرِ، وَلَيْسَ ذَلِكَ بِهِ، فَمَا سَقَطَ فِيهِ مِنْ الْفِتْنَةِ أَكْبَرُ، بِتَخَلُّفِهِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، وَالرَّغْبَةُ بِنَفْسِهِ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ، يَقُولُ تَعَالَى: وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمِنْ وَرَائِهِ
Translation
✧ [The staying behind of al-Jadd and what was revealed concerning him in the expedition of Tabūk] The Messenger of God ﷺ said one day while he was in that preparation of his to al-Jadd b. Qays, one of the Banū Salimah: "O Jadd, do you have a desire this year to fight the Banū al-Aṣfar?" He said: "O Messenger of God, will you permit me and not tempt me? By God, my people know that there is no man more strongly enamored of women than I, and I fear that if I see the women of the Banū al-Aṣfar I shall not be able to restrain myself." The Messenger of God ﷺ turned away from him and said: "I have given you permission." So concerning al-Jadd b. Qays this verse was revealed: "Among them is he who says, 'Permit me and do not tempt me.' Surely into temptation they have fallen, and surely Gehenna surrounds the disbelievers"—that is, if it was only temptation from the women of the Banū al-Aṣfar that he feared, and that was not what he feared, then the temptation into which he fell by staying behind from the Messenger of God ﷺ and preferring his own self to his self is greater. He, exalted, says: "And surely Gehenna is behind him."
