And when He, glorified and exalted is He, mentioned some of what He has in water from greatness, He mentioned to Him a reason that is a great favor upon creation, so He said: ﴿Provision for the servants﴾ meaning: We caused that to grow for the sake of it being part of what We made their provision.

And when that was the greatest reminder for the sighted about resurrection and for all attributes of perfection, He followed it with what He has of reminder about resurrection specifically, so He said: ﴿And We gave life through it﴾ meaning: the water by Our greatness ﴿a town﴾ and He named it with the letter 'ta' indicating that it is in a state of extreme weakness and need for stability and being free from it. And He mentioned His saying: ﴿a dead﴾ for the increase in affirming the extent of need in it. And when this was particularly one of the clearest proofs of resurrection, He said as a conclusion: ﴿Thus﴾ meaning: like this great emergence ﴿the emergence﴾ which is, due to its greatness, as if it is specific to this meaning, which is the resurrection of the dead from their graves based on what they were upon in this world. There is no difference between the emergence of plants after they have crumbled in the earth and become dust as they were among its yellow, white, red, green, and blue, and between the emergence of what has crumbled from the dead as they were in this world. Abu Hayyan said: He, glorified and exalted is He, mentioned in the heavens three: the building, the adornment, and the negation of the openings, and in the earth three: the expansion, the placing of the mountains, and the growth. He matched the expansion with the building; because the expansion is a laying down and the building is a raising up, and the placing of the mountains with the adornment with the stars for the stability of each one of them, meaning on the surface of what it is in, and the growth that is contingent upon the division by the negation of the openings, so there is no division in it. And He pointed out in what relates to the growth about what is harvested every year and its root remains, and what is planted every year or two years and is harvested every year, and about what has mixed from two kinds, for some of the fruits are sweet and not sustenance, and most of the crops are sustenance and the fruit is sweet and sustenance.
