English

Ahmed Ali

Do you not see that God sends down water from the sky, then makes it flow in rills on the earth, and brings forth corn from it which, having passed through changes of shade and colour, comes to ripen, and you see it autumnal yellow; then He reduces it to chaff. There are indeed lessons in this for those who are wise.

Tafseer

'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī

تفسير : (hast thou not seen) have you not been informed, o muhammad, in the qur'an (how allah hath sent down water) rain (from the sky and hath caused it to penetrate the earth as water springs) producing thereof rivers in the earth, (and afterward thereby produceth) through rain (crops of diverse hues; and afterward they wither) they change (and thou seest them turn yellow) after being green in colour; (then he maketh them chaff) dry chaff; such is the life of this world, it vanishes and never lasts. (lo! herein) in that which i mentioned concerning the vanishing of the life of this world (verily is a reminder) an admonition (for men of understanding) for those possessed of intellect among people.

Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī

تفسير : have you not seen, realised, that god sends down water from the heaven, then conducts it as springs, making it enter points of springs, in the ground? then with it he brings forth crops of diverse hues. then they wither, they become dried-out, and you see them, for example, after having been green, turning yellow. then he turns them into chaff. truly in that there is a reminder for people of pith, possessors of intellect, by which they may be reminded, for it is an indication of god’s oneness and his power.
