[Machine] In His saying, "And take provisions, but indeed, the best provision is Taqwa (consciousness of Allah)" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:197). He said, there were people who performed Hajj without provisions, so this verse was revealed, "And take provisions, but indeed, the best provision is Taqwa (consciousness of Allah)" (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:197).
