Do you reckon the giving of water to pilgrims and the attendance of the Sacred Mosque that is do you reckon those who do such things to be the same as he who believes in God and the Last Day and struggles in the way of God? They are not equal in merit in God’s sight; and God guides not the evildoing the disbelieving folk this was revealed to refute those who claimed this such as al-‘Abbās and others.
- 9:1919
۞ أَجَعَلْتُمْ سِقَايَةَ الْحَاجِّ وَعِمَارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ كَمَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَجَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ۚ لَا يَسْتَوُونَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ
Do you reckon the giving of water to pilgrims and the inhabiting of the Holy Mosque as the same as one who believes in God and the Last Day and struggles in the way of God? Not equal are they in God's sight; and God guides not the people of the evildoers.
