* تفسير Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs

{ أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُزْجِي سَحَاباً ثُمَّ يُؤَلِّفُ بَيْنَهُ ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُهُ رُكَاماً فَتَرَى ٱلْوَدْقَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ خِلاَلِهِ وَيُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مِن جِبَالٍ فِيهَا مِن بَرَدٍ فَيُصِيبُ بِهِ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَصْرِفُهُ عَن مَّن يَشَآءُ يَكَادُ سَنَا بَرْقِهِ يَذْهَبُ بِٱلأَبْصَارِ }

(Hast thou not seen) have you not been informed, O Muhammad, in the Qur'an about (how Allah wafteth) drives about (the clouds, then gatherth them) then brings the clouds together, (then maketh them layers, and thou seest the rain come forth from between them) from between the clouds; (He sendeth down from the heaven mountains wherein is hail) He says: He sends down hail from mountains in heaven, (and smiteth therewith) and with hail He punishes (whom He will, and averteth it) and averts its punishment (from whom He will. The flashing of His lightning) the light emanating from lightning in the clouds (all but snatcheth away the sight) from the intensity of its light.
