Numan bin Bashir reported,

Numan bin Bashir said, I was near the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when a man said, "I would not mind if I did no deed after embracing Islam other than providing water to the pilgrims."Another said, "I would not mind if I did no deed after embracing Islam other than maintaining the Sacred Mosque."A third said, "Striving in the cause of Allah is better than what you have mentioned."Umar rebuked them and said, "Do not raise your voices near the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, especially on Friday. But once I have prayed the Friday prayer, I will go in and ask him for a ruling on what you have disputed."So Allah عز وجل revealed, "Have you made the providing of water to the pilgrims and the maintenance of the Sacred Mosque equal to one who believes in Allah and the Last Day" [Tawbah 9:19], to the end of the verse.

Sahih

عن النعمان بن بشير

قال كنت عند منبر رسول الله ﷺ، فقال رجل: ما أبالي أن لا أعمل عملا بعد الإسلام، إلا أن أسقي الحاج. وقال آخر: ما أبالي أن لا أعمل عملا بعد الإسلام إلا أن أعمر المسجد الحرام. وقال آخر: الجهاد في سبيل الله أفضل مما قلتم. فزجرهم عمر، وقال: لا ترفعوا أصواتكم عند منبر رسول الله ﷺ، وهو يوم الجمعة، ولكن إذا صليت الجمعة دخلت، فاستفتيته فيما اختلفتم فيه. فأنزل الله عز وجل {أجعلتم سقاية الحاج وعمارة المسجد الحرام كمن ءامن بالله واليوم الآخر} الآية إلى آخرها.

His saying, "Do you consider the providing of water to pilgrims and the maintenance of Masjid al-Haram equal to one who believes in Allah and the Last Day and strives in the cause of Allah? They are not equal before Allah. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people."
