It has been narrated on the authority of Numan Bin Bashir who said: As I was sitting near the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ; a man said: I do not care if; after embracing Islam; I do not do any good deed except distributing drinking water among the pilgrims. Another said: I do not care if; after embracing Islam; I do not do any good deed beyond maintenance service to the Sacred Masjid. Another said: Jihad in the way of Allah is better than what you have said. Umar reprimanded them and said: Dont raise your voices near the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on Friday. When prayer was over; I entered the apartment of the Holy Prophet and asked his verdict about the matter in which they had differed. It was upon this that Allah; the Almighty and Exalted; revealed the Quranic verse: Do you make the giving of drinking water to the pilgrims and the maintenance of the Sacred Masjid equal to the service of those who believe in Allah and the Last Day and strive hard in the cause of Allah. They are not equal in the sight of God. And Allah guides not the wrongdoing people ix. 20.
