Back to Chapter: 76 Previous Next

[وَدَانِيَةً عَلَيْهِمْ ظِلَـلُهَا]

(And the shade thereof is close upon them.) meaning, the branches will be close to them.

[وَذُلِّلَتْ قُطُوفُهَا تَذْلِيلاً]

(And the bunches of fruit thereof will hang low within their reach.) meaning, whenever he attempts to get any fruit, it will come nearer to him and come down from its highest branch as if it hears and obeys. This is as Allah says in another Ayah,

[وَجَنَى الْجَنَّتَيْنِ دَانٍ]

(And fruits of the two gardens will be near at hand.) (55:54) Allah also says,

[قُطُوفُهَا دَانِيَةٌ ]

(The fruits in bunches whereof will be low and near at hand.) (69:23) Mujahid said,

[وَذُلِّلَتْ قُطُوفُهَا تَذْلِيلاً]

(And the bunches of fruit thereof will hang low within their reach.) "If he stands it will rise with him an equal amount, if he sits it will lower itself for him so that he can reach it and if he lies down it will lower itself for him more so that he can reach it. So this is Allah's statement,

[تَذْلِيلاً]

(will hang low within their reach). '' Qatadah said, "No thorn or distance will repel their hands away from it (the fruit).''
