Word دَانِيَةٌ - Quran Morphology

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

And it is He Who sends down water from the cloud; and We bring forth therewith every kind of growth; then We bring forth with that green foliage wherefrom We produce clustered grain. And from the date-palm, out of its sheaths, come forth bunches hanging low. And We produce therewith gardens of grapes, and the olive and the pomegranate — similar and dissimilar. Look at the fruit thereof when it bears fruit, and the ripening thereof. Surely, in this are Signs for a people who believe.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اور وہی ہے جس نے آسمان سے پانی اتارا۔ پھر ہم نے اس سے ہر قسم کی روئیدگی پیدا کی۔ پھر ہم نے اس میں سے ایک سبزہ نکالا جس میں سے ہم تہ بہ تہ بیج نکالتے ہیں۔ اور کھجور کے درختوں میں سے بھی ان کے خوشوں سے بھرپور جھکے ہوئے تہ بہ تہ پھل اور اسی طرح انگوروں کے باغ اور زیتون اور انار، ایک دوسرے سے ملتے جلتے بھی اور نہ ملتے جلتے بھی۔ ان کے پھلوں کی طرف غور سے دیکھو جب وہ پھل دیں اور ان کے پکنے کی طرف۔ یقیناً ان سب میں ایک ایمان لانے والی قوم کے لئے بڑے نشانات ہیں۔

French

Et c’est Lui Qui fait descendre l’eau des nuages ; et par ce moyen, Nous produisons toutes sortes de germination ; ensuite, Nous en faisons sortir une verdure, d’où Nous produisons des grains en grappes. Et des palmiers-dattiers ; de leur spathe, sortent des grappes qui pendent bas. Et Nous produisons encore des vignobles, et l’olive et la grenade – des fruits semblables et dissemblables. Et quand les arbres fructifient, regardez les fruits et voyez comme ils mûrissent. En vérité, il y a là des Signes pour un peuple qui croit.

German

Und Er ist es, Der Wasser niedersendet aus der Wolke, damit bringen Wir alle Art Wachstum hervor; mit diesem bringen Wir dann Grünes hervor, daraus Wir gereihtes Korn sprießen lassen, und aus der Dattelpalme, aus ihren Blütendolden, (sprießen) niederhängende Datteltrauben, und Gärten mit Trauben, und die Olive und den Granatapfel – einander ähnlich und unähnlich. Betrachtet ihre Frucht, wenn sie Früchte tragen, und ihr Reifen. Wahrlich, hierin sind Zeichen für Leute, die glauben.

Chinese

[g]他就是那个从天上降水的; (再看) 我怎样利用它生长了各种翠绿的东西; 生长了层层谷粒的田园。从枣树的叶鞘中生长累累的果实。生长了葡萄、橄榄、[h]石榴的果园, 在那些 (果实) 中有些相似, 也有些是不同的。当它们 (每种果树) 结果时, 要观察果实和其成长的情况。对信仰的人其中确有很多迹象。[443]

Italian

Ed è Lui che manda giù acqua dalle nuvole, per cui Noi facciamo spuntare germogli di ogni genere, donde poi Noi facciamo sorgere quel fogliame verde, e ne deriviamo spighe di grano. E dalla palma da datteri, dal suo fogliame, nascono pesanti grappoli. E quindi Noi ne produciamo vigneti e oliveti, e frutteti di melograno, simili e dissimili. Guardate i frutti quando nascono e quando maturano. Certamente, tutto questo manifesta dei segni per la gente che crede.

Spanish

Él es quien hace descender el agua de la nube; de ese modo hacemos que germinen toda clase de plantas; en ellas hacemos brotar hojas verdes en las que producimos granos apiñados. Y de las palmeras, de sus ainas, salen racimos que cuelgan bajo. Y así hacemos brotar huertos de viñedos, olivos y granados –semejantes y diferentes-. Observad su fruto cuando lo tienen y su maduración. En verdad que en todo ello hay Signos para los hombres que creen.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور وہی ہے جس نے آسمان سے پانی اتارا ہے پھر (دیکھو کس طرح) اس کے ذریعہ سے ہم [2]نے ہر ایک چیز کی روئیدگی پیدا کی ہے اور اس کے ذریعہ سے کھیتی پیدا[3] کی ہے جس سے ہم تہ بہ تہ دانے نکالتے ہیں اور کھجور میں سے یعنی اس کے گابھے میں سے جھکے ہوئے پھل (نکالتے) ہیں اور انگوروں اور زیتون اور انار کے ایسے باغات (نکالتے ہیں) جن میں سے بعض آپس میں ملتے جلتے ہیں اور (بعض) مختلف ہیں۔ جب (ان میں سے ہر قسم [4]کے درخت کو) پھل آتا ہے تو اس کے پھل کو اور اس کے پکنے (کی کیفیت) کو دیکھو۔ اس میں ایمان لانے والے لوگوں کے لئے یقیناً (بہت سے) نشانات ہیں۔

Important Words:

متراکبا (clustered) is derived from رکب. They say رکبه i.e. he rode it or mounted it; it got upon it or it became superincumbent upon it. تراکب means, it lay one part upon another; it was or became heaped or piled up. So متراکب means, piled or clustered together one above another (Aqrab).

طلع (sheaths) is from the verb طلع (tala‘a), i.e., he or it rose or appeared or came forth. طلع is what comes forth from the palm tree and becomes dates; the spathe or flowers of the palm tree (Lane).

قنوان (bunches) is the plural of قنو which is derived from قنا . They say قنا المال i.e. he acquired and amassed property for himself. قنو means, a bunch of dates (Aqrab).

ینعه (the ripening thereof). ینع is from the verb ینع (yana‘a). They say ینع الثمر i.e. the fruit became ripened and fit for gathering; it (fruit, etc.) became red. یانع means, the ripe fruit. ینع is both the noun-infinitive from the verb ینع (yana‘a) in which case it means the ripening of a fruit, and the plural of یانع in which case it means the ripe fruits (Aqrab).

Commentary:

In this verse revelation is likened to rainwater and the verse answers the question why there is discord and strife at the advent of Prophets, if revelation is indeed a blessing. The verse says that just as by rainwater all kinds of vegetation grow up, both bad and good, according to the seeds lying concealed in the earth, similarly at the advent of Divine revelation, men, so far remaining mixed up, become divided into good and bad. The good ones accept the Messenger of God, help him and become pious and holy, like trees which bear good fruit or like shrubs which bring forth beautiful flowers or like herbs which give out a sweet odour; but there are others—the bad ones—who oppose the Prophet, persecute his followers and act corruptly in the earth. These are like trees which bear bitter fruit or like flowerless and thorny bushes or like plants and herbs which give out a bad smell.

The words مشتبھا و غیر متشابه (similar and dissimilar) imply that whereas some fruits resemble each other, some differ from others. This may apply either to fruits of different kinds, which resemble one another in certain respects and differ in others, or to fruits of the same kind which, although resembling one another in the main points, differ from one another in minor details, some tasting sweeter than others and some varying in colour or size. The same is the case with those who believe in the Prophets and follow Divine guidance. Although they bear great resemblance to one another, yet there are differences between them, some being morally and spiritually more advanced than others. Again, some are advanced in one phase of spiritual growth, while others are advanced in another. Among the Companions of the Holy Prophet, too, we see that one became an Abu Bakr, another an ‘Umar, and another an ‘Uthman and yet another an ‘Aliand so on. They attained to different stages of spirituality and developed different phases, according to their respective natural capacities and dispositions.

The words, the ripening thereof, refer to an implied objection that might be raised by the deniers of revelation––namely, that even those who accept Divine revelation do not all become pure and holy. The above-quoted words answer this objection by pointing to the analogy of the ripening of fruit. The people are asked first to note the condition of fruits when they are yet unripe and then see how sweet and delicious they become after becoming ripe. Just as it is unfair to judge a fruit by an unripe specimen, similarly, it is unfair to find fault with the fruits of revelation on the basis of such individuals as are yet in the process of development and have not attained to perfection. The verse points out that in the beginning there are bound to be weaknesses and shortcomings even in believers, just as there is bound to be sourness in the taste of an unripe or undeveloped fruit. So it is not just to deny the usefulness of revelation on the basis of weaknesses that are to be met with in believers whose spiritual condition is not yet fully developed.

The verse most beautifully draws attention to three important points that can be deduced from the analogy of the various kinds of vegetation that grow as a result of rain: (1) that rain brings forth both good and bad vegetation (believers and disbelievers); (2) that even in good fruits (believers) some variety is to be found, i.e. points of similarity and dissimilarity; and (3) that in the early stage of development even good fruits are not sweet and may even be sour.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

اور وہی ہے جس نے آسمان سے پانی برسایا، پھر اس کے ذریعہ سے ہر قسم کی نباتات اگائی، پھر اس سے ہرے ہرے کھیت اور درخت پیدا کیے، پھر ان سے تہ بہ تہ چڑھے ہوئے دانے نکالے اور کھجور کے شگوفوں سے پھلوں کے گچھے کے گچھے پیدا کیے جو بوجھ کے مارے جھکے پڑتے ہیں، اور انگور، زیتون اور انار کے باغ لگائے جن کے پھل ایک دوسرے سے ملتے جلتے بھی ہیں اور پھر اُن کے پکنے کی کیفیت ذرا غور کی نظر سے دیکھو، اِن چیزوں میں نشانیاں ہیں اُن لوگوں کے لیے جو ایمان لاتے ہیں

English - Sahih

And it is He who sends down rain from the sky, and We produce thereby the growth of all things. We produce from it greenery from which We produce grains arranged in layers. And from the palm trees - of its emerging fruit are clusters hanging low. And [We produce] gardens of grapevines and olives and pomegranates, similar yet varied. Look at [each of] its fruit when it yields and [at] its ripening. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

اور اسی نے آسمان سے پانی اتارا پھر ہم نے اس سے ہر چیز اگنے والی نکالی پھر ہم نے اس سے سبز کھیتی نکالی جس سے ہم ایک دوسرے پرچڑھے ہوئے دانے نکالتے ہیں اور کھجور کے شگوفوں میں سے پھل کے جھکے ہوئے گچھے اور انگور اور زیتون اور انار کے باغ آپس میں ملتے جلتے اور جدا جدا بھی ہر ایک درخت کے پھل کو دیکھو جب وہ پھل لاتا ہے اور اس کے پکنے کو دیکھو ان چیزوں میں ایمان والوں کے لیے نشانیاں ہیں

English - Talal Itani

And He (is) the One Who sends down from the sky water, then We bring forth with it vegetation (of) every thing. Then We bring forth from it green plant, We bring forth from it grain - thick clustered. And from the date-palm, from its spathe clusters of dates hanging low. And gardens of grapes and the olives and the pomegranates resembling and not resembling. Look at its fruit when it bears fruit and its ripening. Indeed, in that (are) signs for a people (who) believe.

启示在此比作雨水。这节经文回答了这样一个问题: 如果启示确实是一种幸福, 那么, 为什么每当一个先知被选拔出来的时候有不和与斗争呢? 经文说, 正如雨后生长出各种植物那样, 根据埋藏在土里的种籽的情况长出来的东西有好有坏, 同样, 在安拉的一位使者降临时, 那时还混杂在一起的人们, 就开始分成好人和坏人。“有些相似, 也有些是不同的” 这句话, 意示有些果实相似, 有些是彼此不同的。

这可以用於不同种类的果实, 彼此在某此方面相似, 而在另些方面不同, 或者用於同类的果实, 虽然在主要的各点上彼此相似, 而在小的细点上彼此却不相同, 有些味道比另一些甜些, 有些颜色和大小不一。那些接受先知和追随安拉引导的人的情况也是那样。他们在一方面彼此非常相似, 而在另一方面却不相同。有些人在道德和精神上比另一些人要高超。还有, 有些人在精神发展的一个侧面比另一些人要快些, 而另一些人在另一个侧面发展得要快些。他们按照各自天然的能力和气质达到精神完美的不同阶段以及发展着不同的特性。“其成长的情况” 这些字, 指的是果实成熟的相似情况。正如以一只不成熟的果样来判断一种果实那种做法是不公平的那样, 假如因为有些信者尚在精神发展过程中而尚未达到完美的地步就对启示的结果找错误, 那也是不公正的。

English - Arberry

It is He who sent down out of heaven water, and thereby We have brought forth the shoot of every plant, and then We have brought forth the green leaf of it, bringing forth from it close-compounded grain, and out of the palm-tree, from the spathe of it, dates thick-lustered, ready to the hand, and gardens of vines, olives, pomegranates, like each to each, and each unlike to each. Look upon their fruits when they fructify and ripen! Surely, in all this are signs for a people who do believe.

English - Maududi

And it is He Who has sent down water from the heavens, and thereby We have brought vegetation of every kind, and out of this We have brought forth green foliage and then from it close-packed ears of corn, and out of the palm-tree from the sheath of it - thick clustered dates, hanging down with heaviness, and gardens of vines, and the olive tree, and the pomegranate - all resembling one another and yet so different. Behold their fruit when they bear fruit and ripen! Surely, in all this there are signs for those who believe.

English - Ahmed Ali

It is He who sends down water from the skies, and brings out of it everything that grows, the green foliage, the grain lying close, the date palm trees with clusters of dates, and the gardens of grapes, and of olives and pomegranates, so similar yet so unlike. Look at the fruits, how they appear on the trees, and they ripen. In all these are signs for those who believe.

English - Yusuf Ali

It is He Who sendeth down rain from the skies: with it We produce vegetation of all kinds: from some We produce green (crops), out of which We produce grain, heaped up (at harvest); out of the date-palm and its sheaths (or spathes) (come) clusters of dates hanging low and near: and (then there are) gardens of grapes, and olives, and pomegranates, each similar (in kind) yet different (in variety): when they begin to bear fruit, feast your eyes with the fruit and the ripeness thereof. Behold! in these things there are signs for people who believe.

Revelation is likened here to rainwater, and the verse answers the question, why, if revelation is indeed a blessing, is there discord and strife whenever a Prophet is raised? It says that just as after rainfall all kinds of vegetation grow up, both bad and good, according to the seeds lying concealed in the earth, similarly, at the advent of a Divine Messenger, men, who so far had remained mixed up, become divided into good and bad.

He it is Who sendeth down water from the sky, and therewith We bring forth buds of every kind; We bring forth the green blade from which We bring forth the thick-clustered grain; and from the date-palm, from the pollen thereof, spring pendant bunches; and (We bring forth) gardens of grapes, and the olive and the pomegranate, alike and unlike. Look upon the fruit thereof, when they bear fruit, and upon its ripening. Lo! herein verily are portents for a people who believe.

And He it is Who sends down water from the clouds, then We bring forth with it buds of all (plants), then We bring forth from it green (foliage), from which We produce clustered grain; and of the date-palm, of the sheaths of it, come forth clusters (of dates) within reach; and gardens of grapes and the olive and the pomegranate, alike and unlike. Look at the fruit of it when it bears fruit and the ripening of it. Surely there are signs in this for a people who believe!

It is He Who sends down water from the sky; and We bring forth therewith every kind of growth and therefrom, out of green foliage, We produce clustered grain; and from the date-palm, out of its sheath, We produce bunches hanging low. We also produce therewith gardens of grapes, and the olive and the pomegranate, some similar and some dissimilar. Observe the fruit of every kind of tree when it bears fruit and the process of its ripening. Surely, in this are Signs for the people who believe.
