Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
Providing Pilgrims with Water and maintaining the Sacred Masjid are not equal to Faith and JihadIn his Tafsir, Al-`Awfi reported that Ibn `Abbas explained this Ayah: "The idolators said, `Maintaining Al-Masjid Al-Haram and providing water for pilgrims are better than embracing the faith and performing Jihad.' They used to boast and show off among the people because they claimed, they were the people and maintainers of Al-Masjid Al-Haram.
