الجد بن قيس
Al-Jad ibn Qays was a friend of Abdullah ibn Ubayy and one of the hypocrites of Madinah. When the Prophet ﷺ was preparing the Expedition of Tabuk against the Romans in 9 AH, he asked al-Jad, "O Jad, are you not interested in going to fight the Romans?" Al-Jad replied, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, can you please excuse me? For by Allah, my people know that I have a weakness for women, and I am worried that if I see the women of the Bani al-Asfar, I will not have any patience." The Prophet ﷺ simply turned away from him. Allah revealed: "There are some of them who say, 'Exempt me and do not expose me to temptation.' They have already fallen into temptation. And Hell will surely engulf the disbelievers" [9:49].

وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَقُولُ ائْذَن لِّي وَلَا تَفْتِنِّي ۚ أَلَا فِي الْفِتْنَةِ سَقَطُوا ۗ وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمُحِيطَةٌ بِالْكَافِرِينَ
“There are some of them who say, 'Exempt me and do not expose me to temptation.' They have already fallen into temptation. And Hell will surely engulf the disbelievers.”
His excuse of a weakness for women is said to be the occasion of this verse.
