Commentary

And when the management of it was not regulated, he summarized it by saying: "And for you in it" meaning: all of it "are benefits" meaning: many, besides that in pearls, fur, wool, and others.

And when the transportation of it and reaching the vast places upon it in the shortest time for obtaining great matters is of tremendous benefit indeed, he indicated its greatness by cutting off (p-124) from what preceded it with a summary of the benefits, then detailing it from it, so he said: "And that you may reach" meaning: rising above "upon it" and it is in the utmost state of humility and obedience. He alerted them to their deficiency and His great favor upon them by saying: "a need" meaning: he classified the need.

And when he was in the position of glorifying His blessings because of the context of gratitude and the manifestation of power alone and gathering what it encompasses, he said: "in your breasts" indicating that a single need has overwhelmed the hearts of all until it overflowed from them and filled their abodes.

And when the burden is with absolute elevation, whether it is on the highest of things or not, unlike riding, he expressed with the tool of elevation in it and in the sky other than the ship of Noah, blessings and peace be upon him, for it was covered as has been narrated, so they were in its belly [not] on its back: "and upon it" meaning: on land "and on the ships" meaning: in the sea "you are carried" meaning: it carries for you your belongings, for indeed the carrying of a person himself precedes by riding.

And he indicated with the news for the acted upon that He has subjected that with a great subjugation that does not require treatment in the essence of the burden.
