CAUSE OF THE REVELATION (VERSE NO. 49)

      The hypocrites claimed exemption from service in TABUK expedition, with strange excuses and flimsy pretexts. As an instance; JAD- IBN- GHAIS, the chief of the tribe of Banu- Salameh, asked for exemption on the plea that, he could not withstand the charms of Syrian women, and it was not possible for him to resist beauty; and therefore, he had better to stay at home, and fall not into temptation and trial!

      God, answers him here that, `you have already fallen into temptation by disobeying the call.

      The above excuse reminds me of the cruel police, who said to me: ``If we keep not the people under pressures, our salary will not become lawful to us!'' A couple of important points to be considered here are:

      1- A way to know the hypocrites better, is by the method of their reasonings, and their excuses, which almost all are flimsy, ridiculous, and unworthy of serious consideration.

      2- As to the phrase, (HELL ENCOMPASSES THE UNBELIEVERS) it may imply that their sins which are the means of driving them towards the Fire, have already surrounded them! In other word; they are in the middle of the Hell, while its rage and blazing fire has not yet caught them!
