Ibn Abbas Commentary

(And they bear your loads) your luggage and provision (for you unto a land) i.e. Mecca (ye could not reach save with great trouble to yourselves) except with great toil. (Lo! your Lord is Full of Pity) towards him who believes, (Merciful) by deferring your chastisement.

And they bear your burdens your baggage to a land which you could not reach without being on camel-back save with great trouble to yourselves save by straining them. Indeed your Lord is Gentle Merciful to you in having created these for you.
