And when He, glorified and exalted is He, indicated His power by what He revived with water, a life limited by the soul, He followed it with what He bestowed upon it, a complete life. He said: ﴿And indeed, for you in the cattle﴾, which are camels, cattle, and sheep, ﴿is a lesson﴾. You express it from the apparent of its matter to the hidden of it, which He, glorified and exalted is He, has in it of complete power over resurrection and others. Then He began to detail what is in it of the lesson, saying: ﴿We give you to drink﴾. And since the cattle is a collective noun, and what is to be drunk from it was not mentioned, He feminized the pronoun according to the meaning. It is known that what is meant is what comes from it, specifically the milk, which is from the females. This is a usage because if all that the name applies to was intended, the pronoun would have been masculine. For this reason, He said: ﴿From what is in their bellies﴾, meaning we make it for you a beneficial drink for the body, agreeable to the desire, which you enjoy with its coming forth from between excrement and blood, as has been mentioned in the bee. ﴿And for you in them﴾, meaning in the group of cattle, He preceded the preposition to magnify its benefits until it is as if other than it is non-existent. ﴿There are many benefits﴾ by their submission to what is desired from them, which cannot be achieved from smaller than them, and by their offspring, their wool, their hair, and other than that from their effects.

And when the estimation is: you utilize them in those benefits, He added to it, preceding the preposition to magnify their food, saying: ﴿And from them you eat﴾, with ease and without hindrance from anything of that. And if He willed, He could have prevented them from that and subjected them to you. And if He willed, He could have made their meat not cook, or made it filthy and inedible. But with His power and knowledge, He prepared them for what He mentioned and subdued them for it.
