Question:
He says regarding the noble verse:[Al-Baqarah 2:197].
Answer:
Yes, there were people who performed Hajj in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who had no food or provisions with them and called themselves the Mutawakkilun (those who rely on Allah), so they became a burden on the pilgrims. Then Allah revealed this verse, "Take provisions," meaning for travel. Then He drew attention to the journey of the hereafter, saying:[Al-Baqarah 2:197] So the journey to the hereafter has taqwa (mindfulness of Allah) as its provision, and the journey in this world has food and drink as its provision. Yes.
