And when that necessitated the end of the action, for there must be, after the mixing of water with soil, matters from which plants arise, in those strange and different forms, it necessitated that He be the absolute owner. He said: "To Him belongs what is in the heavens," meaning that which He has sent down from it. And when the precedence was for establishing resurrection and the uniqueness of ownership and the indication of that, the situation necessitated the emphasis by repeating the connected phrase, so He said: "and what is in the earth," meaning that which has settled in it. And that necessitates the ownership of the heavens and the earth, for each one of them is in that which is above it until the matter reaches His Throne, glorified is He, which cannot possibly belong to anyone else.

And when it is familiar to us that the owner is in need of what is in his hand; he is blamed for holding onto it with stinginess, and for spending it with wastefulness, He clarified that He is unlike that, so He said: "And indeed Allah," meaning the One who has complete encompassing knowledge, "He alone is the Rich," meaning independent of both of them and of what is in them. He did not create anything from either of them or in them out of a need for Himself, but for your need for Him. "The Praiseworthy" in all that He gives or withholds, for what is in that contains hidden and apparent wisdom.
