Mujahid said that the meaning of «لإيلاف‏ قريش‏.» is that the hearts of the people of Quraysh were inclined towards travel; in any season, whether summer or winter, traveling was not difficult for them, and by granting them a place in the Haram, they were made secure from enemies. Sufyan ibn ‘Uyaynah said that the meaning of «لإيلاف‏ قريش‏.» is: because of My favor upon Quraysh.
