"[This is] a [declaration of] repudiation by Allah and His Apostle [addressed] to the polytheists with whom you had made a treaty: (1) Travel [unmolested] in the land for four months, but know that you cannot frustrate Allah, and that Allah shall disgrace the faithless."

The verses were declared to polytheists on the day of [[Eid al-Adha]] by Imam ʿAli (a).

"Do you regard the providing of water to Hajj pilgrims and the maintenance of the Holy Mosque as similar [in worth] to someone who has faith in Allah and [believes in] the Last Day and wages jihad in the way of Allah? They are not equal with Allah, and Allah does not guide the wrongdoing lot."

In [[Shia]] and Sunni sources, there are many [[hadith]]s about the occasion of the [[revelation]] of this verse. According to one hadith, which is deemed the most accurate by ''[[Tafsir-i nimuna]]'', a dispute occurred between Shayba and [['Abbas b. 'Abd al-Muttalib]], the Prophet’s uncle. ʿAbbas boasted about his position of [[Siqayat al-Hajj|“siqaya”]] (provision of water for hajj pilgrims) and Shayba boasted about his position of holding the [[Ka'ba]]’s key. Imam ʿAli (a) entered and said that his honor was his early faith and jihad in the way of God. ʿAbbas was angered and complained to the Prophet (s). When Imam ʿAli (a) went to the Prophet (s), the above verse was revealed, in which faith and jihad are said to be superior.
