Surah Ash Shu'ara Tafseer

"Will you be left secure in that which you have here, In gardens and springs. And crops and date palms with soft clusters."

They enjoyed Salih preached to them, warning them that the punishment of Allah could overtake them and reminding them of the blessings that Allah had bestowed upon them, by giving them ample provision and making them safe from all kinds of dangers, giving them gardens and flowing springs, and bringing forth for them crops and fruits.

وَنَخْلٍ طَلْعُهَا هَضِيمٌ

and date palms with soft clusters.

Al-Awfi narrated from Ibn Abbas,

"Ripe and rich."

Ali bin Abi Talhah narrated from Ibn Abbas that:

this meant growing luxuriantly.

Ismail bin Abi Khalid narrated from `Amr bin Abi `Amr -- who met the Companions -- from Ibn Abbas that this means,

"When it becomes ripe and soft."

This was narrated by Ibn Abi Hatim, then he said:"And something similar was narrated from Abu Salih."

وَتَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا فَارِهِينَ
