Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī

تفسير : and verily we have distributed it, the water, among them, so that they may remember (li-yadhdhakkarū should actually be li-yatadhakkarū, but the tā’ has been assimilated with the dhāl; a variant reading has li-yadhkurū), that is to say, [so that they may remember] therewith the grace of god. but most people are only intent on ingratitude, on denial of the grace, saying, ‘we have received [this] rain because of such-and-such a storm’.
