Benefits of the Verse: “And We shaded you with clouds and sent down upon you manna and quail. Eat of the good things We have provided for you. You did not wrong Us, but they were wronging themselves.”
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
And We shaded you with clouds and sent down to you manna and quails, [saying], "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you." And they wronged Us not - but they were [only] wronging themselves.
وظللنا عليكم الغمام وأنزلنا عليكم المن والسلوى كلوا من طيبات ما رزقنكم وما ظلمونا ولكن كانوا أنفسهم يظلمونIt is derived from the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And We shaded you with clouds
وظللنا عليكم الغمامAnd We shaded you with clouds
وظللنا عليكم الغمامand has made for you from the mountains, shelters
وجعل لكم من الجبال أكناناIt also contains evidence of the power of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, in that He made the clouds a shade over these people, and that it is He who drives the clouds and manages them, Blessed and Exalted is He, as He wills.
It also contains a clarification of the blessing of Allah upon the Children of Israel in sending down manna and quail as food and drink that came to them without fatigue and without hardship, for this reason it was described as manna.
It also contains evidence that the meat of birds is among the best of meats, because Allah prepared these birds for them; He did not prepare for them hyenas or rabbits, but He prepared for them birds, and it is also the meat of the people of Paradise
And the meat of fowl, from whatever they desire.
ولحم طير مما يشتهونIt also contains evidence that if Allah bestows a blessing upon a person, he should be generous with it and not deprive himself of it, as He said:
Eat from the good things with which We have provided you
كلوا من طيبات ما رزقنكمIt also contains evidence that the Children of Israel disbelieved this blessing, as He said:
but they were [only] wronging themselves.
ولكن كانوا أنفسهم يظلمونIt contains among its benefits that the sinner does not wrong Allah, but rather he wrongs himself. However, it is correct to say that this man is wronging himself in the right of Allah and in the right of people; he is not wronging Allah, but wronging himself in the right of Allah and in the right of people. Yes, these are the benefits of this verse, and I have finished with what I know.
Yes, it also contains the benefit that everything we eat is from the provision of Allah, as He said:
We have provided for you
ما رزقنكمIt contains that the permissible of provision is the good, as He said: “Eat of the good things,” and that the bad, Allah did not command its eating, but rather He forbade it.
