Translation (Sahih International)

Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The True Value of This Earthly LifeAllah mentions the delights that He put in this life for people, such as women and children, and He started with women, because the test with them is more tempting. For instance, the Sahih recorded that the Messenger ﷺ said,«مَا تَرَكْتُ بَعْدِي فِتْنَةً أَضَرَّ عَلَى الرِّجَالِ مِنَ النِّسَاء»(I did not leave behind me a test more tempting to men than women.
