Tafsir al-BaghawiAl-Baghawi

behind the Messenger of Allah. Abu Ubaydah said: that is, after the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. It was also said that it means in opposition to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him: he set out, while they remained behind.

“And they disliked striving with their wealth and their lives in the way of Allah, and they said, ‘Do not march out in the heat.’” The campaign of Tabuk took place during intense heat.

“Say, ‘The Fire of Hell is far hotter, if only they understood’”: that is, if they knew; and this is likewise the wording in the codex of Abdullah ibn Masud.

“So let them laugh a little” in this world, “and weep much” in the Hereafter. Its intended meaning is: Let them laugh a little, for they will weep much, “as recompense for what they used to earn.”

The Imam Abu Ali al-Husayn ibn Muhammad al-Qadi informed us; al-Sayyid Abu al-Hasan Muhammad ibn [al-Husayn al-Alawi] informed us, saying: Abdullah ibn Muhammad al-Husayn al-Sharqi informed us; Abdullah ibn Hashim related to us; Yahya ibn Said related to us; Shubah related from Musa ibn Anas, from Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “If you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much.” (1)

Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Tawbah informed us; Abu Tahir Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Harith related to us; [Abu al-Hasan Muhammad ibn] Yaqub al-Kisai related to us; Abdullah ibn Mahmud related to us; Abu Ishaq Ibrahim ibn Abdullah al-Khallal related to us; Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak related from Imran ibn Zayd al-Tha‘labi, who related to us; Yazid al-Raqashi, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: “O people, weep; and if you are unable to weep, then try to weep. For the people of the Fire will weep in the Fire until their tears flow down their faces like streams. Then the tears will cease, and blood will flow, causing their eyes to ulcerate. Were ships to be set afloat in them, they would sail.” (3)

(1) Recorded by al-Bukhari in Al-Tafsir, in the chapter on Allah's saying, “Do not ask about things which, if disclosed to you, would distress you” (8:280); by Muslim in Al-Fada'il, in the chapter on honoring him, peace and blessings be upon him, no. 2359 (4:1832); and by the author in Sharh al-Sunnah, 14:368-369. (2) The text within the brackets is omitted in manuscript “A.” (3) Al-Haythami said: “It was narrated by Abu Ya'la, and the weakest narrator in its chain is Yazid al-Raqashi, who has nevertheless been declared trustworthy despite his weakness.” See Majma' al-Zawa'id, 10:391. It was also recorded by the author in Sharh al-Sunnah, 15:252.
