Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Explanation of the Udhiyyah and the Sha`a'ir of Allahوَمَن يُعَظِّمْ شَعَـئِرَ اللَّهِ(and whosoever honors the Sha`a'ir of Allah,) means, His commands.فَإِنَّهَا مِن تَقْوَى الْقُلُوبِ(then it is truly from the Taqwa of the hearts.) This also includes obeying His commands in the best way when it comes to offering sacrifices, as Al-Hakam said narrating from Miqsam, from Ibn `Abbas: "Honoring them means choosing fat, healthy animals (for sacrifice).
