Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: (And the date palms, tall and straight, with their clusters of fruit arranged in layers)]

Allah the Exalted said:
And lofty palm trees having fruit arranged in layers -وَالنَّخْلَ بَاسِقَاتٍ لَهَا طَلْعٌ نَضِيدٌ
[Q:10] , Allah singled out the date palm because it is the noblest of trees, and for this reason the believer was compared to it, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (Indeed, among trees there is a tree whose likeness is the likeness of the believer.
Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: So the people began to discuss the trees of the desert -Everyone was saying: saying it is such-and-such a tree -Ibn 'Umar said: and it occurred to me that it was the date palm; but I was the youngest of the group -Meaning: meaning that he was too shy to speak while being the youngest among them -So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: it is the date palm) ,And it is the tree mentioned in the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky?أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلاً كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَفَرْعُهَا فِي السَّمَاءِ
[Ibrahim:24] , and for this reason it was singled out here for mention,So he said:
And the date palms, tall and straightوَالنَّخْلَ بَاسِقَاتٍ
[Q:10] meaning: tall and straight.
having fruit arranged in layers -لَهَا طَلْعٌ نَضِيدٌ
[Q:10] meaning: arranged in layers, so you find the date flowers in their clusters arranged in the most beautiful manner of arrangement, and yet you find these fruits being watered by the thin, soft frond, even though it may sometimes contain more than thirty grains or more.
