Commentary
The barren land is the land whose plants have been cut off, either due to lack of water or because it has been grazed and cleared. It is not said of land that does not grow, like marshy land: it is barren. This is indicated by His saying, 'So We bring forth crops by it.' And from Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, it is said that it is the land of Yemen. And from Mujahid, may Allah be pleased with him, it is said to be Abain. By it, their livestock eat from its crops, and they themselves eat from its grains. And it has been recited: 'they eat,' with a pronoun.
