Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Allah's Signs and Blessings in the Rain, Vegetation, Trees and CattleAllah mentions His innumerable blessings to His servants, whereby He sends down rain in due measure, meaning, according to what is needed, not so much that it damages the lands and buildings, and not so little to be insufficient for crops and fruits, but whatever is needed for irrigation, drinking and other benefits.
