Exegesis of His saying, the Exalted: (And We sent down from the sky blessed water, and thereby We caused gardens and grain to grow)

The Exalted said:
And We sent downوَنَزَّلْنَا
[Q:11], because the rain descends little by little, and it may be referred to as (sent down); because the wadis and valleys flow with it.

And his statement:
from the skyمِنْ السَّمَاءِ
[Q:9],Meaning: from on high; because this rain descends from the clouds, not from the sky which is the preserved ceiling;By the evidence of His saying, the Exalted:
and the clouds controlled between the heaven and the earthوَالسَّحَابِ الْمُسَخَّرِ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ
[al-Baqarah:164] So it descends from on high, and the wisdom in its descent from on high is that it encompasses the peaks of the mountains, the resting places of the camels, the plains, and the wadis; because if it came flowing on the ground, it would not reach the peaks of the mountains, but Allah Mighty and Majestic made it from above.

And his statement:
Blessed waterمَاءً مُبَارَكاً
[Q:9] Among its blessings is that Allah causes to grow
gardens and grain from the harvestبِهِ جَنَّاتٍ وَحَبَّ الْحَصِيدِ
[Q:9] (the gardens) are: orchards with many trees, and orchards with many trees are called gardens because they conceal,Meaning: covering what is beneath them,And every orchard with trees intertwined with one another is called: a garden.

And as for His saying:
and the grain of the harvestوَحَبَّ الْحَصِيدِ
[Q:9] meaning: the crops that are harvested, so Allah mentioned here the trees and the crops, from the trees the fruits are cut, and from the crops the grains are harvested.
