And when it was in the context of explaining mercy with increased blessings, and the establishment of evidence was the greatest blessing, and the fruits were the most delightful of what exists, and their tenderness and great delicacy were contrary to the earth in its dryness and density, the existence of them therein was a wonder indicating His great power. And mentioning them indicates the blessings that preceded them from all types of sustenance. He began with them so that what precedes them would be like what is mentioned twice. He said, resuming the description with something more general: "In it are fruits," meaning: types of them that are truly great, which a person recognizes by what he has of eloquence, their distinction in forms, colors, tastes, and benefits - and other than that from the marvelous matters.

And when the intention of their indefiniteness was to magnify them, he pointed to it by defining a type of them, and he alluded to it because in it, along with enjoyment, there is sustenance. This is the most abundant fruit of the Arabs intended by this mention in the first place. He said: "And the date palms," and he indicated the completeness of power by saying: "with clusters," meaning: the vessels of its fruit, which is the flower before it opens with the fruit. Every plant that produces what is enclosed is one with clusters, but it is famous in date palms due to its nobility and its fame among them. Al-Baghawi said: And everything that covers something is a kimm and a kummah, and from it is the cuff of the shirt. In it is a reminder of the fruits of Paradise that open from their buds. He mentioned the origin of the date palm without its fruit to indicate the abundance of its benefits from the fiber, fronds, branches, trunks, and other benefits that come from it.
