Draft Deferments

From at-Tabari, SUNY Translation:

"One day, while the Messenger of God was making preparations for this expedition, he said to Jadd b. Qays, brother of the Banu Salimah: 'Would you like, O Jadd, to fight the Banu Asfar this year?' He said: 'O, Messenger of God, please excuse me and do not tempt me. By God, my folk know there is no better admirer of women than I. I fear that if I see the women of the Banu Asfar I shall not be able to control myself.' The Messenger of God turned away from him saying: 'I excuse you.'"
