Surah Anam ayat 141 Tafsir Quran 6:141

﴿۞ وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَنشَأَ جَنَّاتٍ مَّعْرُوشَاتٍ وَغَيْرَ مَعْرُوشَاتٍ وَالنَّخْلَ وَالزَّرْعَ مُخْتَلِفًا أُكُلُهُ وَالزَّيْتُونَ وَالرُّمَّانَ مُتَشَابِهًا وَغَيْرَ مُتَشَابِهٍ ۚ كُلُوا مِن ثَمَرِهِ إِذَا أَثْمَرَ وَآتُوا حَقَّهُ يَوْمَ حَصَادِهِ ۖ وَلَا تُسْرِفُوا ۚ إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِفِينَ﴾
[ الأنعام: 141]

6:141 And He it is who causes gardens to grow, [both] trellised and untrellised, and palm trees and crops of different [kinds of] food and olives and pomegranates, similar and dissimilar. Eat of [each of] its fruit when it yields and give its due [zakah] on the day of its harvest. And be not excessive. Indeed, He does not like those who commit excess.

And He it is Who produces creates gardens orchards trellised extending along the ground as in the case of watermelons and untrellised rising upwards on a stem such as palm-trees; and He produces palm-trees and crops diverse in flavour diverse in the shape and savour of its fruit and seed and olives and pomegranates alike in terms of their leaf mutashābihan ‘alike’ is a circumstantial qualifier and unlike in terms of their savour. Eat of the fruit thereof when it ripens before its maturity passes and pay the due thereof the alms as appropriate on the day of its harvest read yawma hasādahu or yawma hasādihi that is one tenth or half of it and do not be prodigal by giving it all away so that nothing remains for the consumption of your dependants. Truly God does not love the prodigal who overstep the bounds of that which He has delimited for them.

He is it Who brought into being orchards, some trellised and others untrellised. He brought into being the palm trees and the whole of the agricultural yield of every district and season, varying in kind and in flavour, and the olives and the pomegranates besides many others of similar species and dissimilar class. Eat, therefore, of their flowers when they come to be fruits and grow ripe and pay, when you reap in harvest, what ought to be given in benevolence or in alms, but avoid prodigality, for Allah does not like the extravagant

Allah Created the Produce, Seed Grains and Cattle Allah states that He created everything, including the produce, fruits and cattle that the idolators mishandled by their misguided ideas, dividing them into various designated parts, allowing some and prohibiting some.
Allah said, وَهُوَ الَّذِى أَنشَأَ جَنَّـتٍ مَّعْرُوشَـتٍ وَغَيْرَ مَعْرُوشَـتٍ ( And it is He Who produces gardens Ma`rushat and not Ma`rushat, ) `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn `Abbas commented, "Ma`rushat refers to what the people trellise, while `not Ma`rushat' refers to fruits ( and produce ) that grow wild inland and on mountains." `Ata' Al-Khurasani said that Ibn `Abbas said, "Ma`rushat are the grapevines that are trellised, while `not Ma`rushat' refers to grapevines that are not trellised." As-Suddi said similarly.
As for these fruits being similar, yet different, Ibn Jurayj said, "They are similar in shape, but different in taste." Muhammad bin Ka`b said that the Ayah, كُلُواْ مِن ثَمَرِهِ إِذَآ أَثْمَرَ ( Eat of their fruit when they ripen, ) means, "( Eat ) from the dates and grapes they produce." Allah said next, وَءَاتُواْ حَقَّهُ يَوْمَ حَصَادِهِ ( but pay the due thereof on the day of their harvest, ) Mujahid commented, "When the poor people are present ( on the day of harvest ), give them some of the produce." `Abdur-Razzaq recorded that Mujahid commented on the Ayah, وَءَاتُواْ حَقَّهُ يَوْمَ حَصَادِهِ ( but pay the due thereof on the day of their harvest. ) "When planting, one gives away handfuls ( of seed grains ) and on harvest, he gives away handfuls and allows them to pick whatever is left on the ground of the harvest." Ath-Thawri said that Hammad narrated that Ibrahim An-Nakha`i said, "One gives away some of the hay." Ibn Al-Mubarak said that Shurayk said that Salim said that Sa`id bin Jubayr commented; وَءَاتُواْ حَقَّهُ يَوْمَ حَصَادِهِ ( but pay the due thereof on the day of their harvest, ) "This ruling, giving the poor the handfuls ( of seed grains ) and some of the hay as food for their animals, was before Zakah became obligatory." Allah has chastised those who harvest, without giving away a part of it as charity.
Allah mentioned the story of the owners of the garden in Surat Nun, إِنَّا بَلَوْنَـهُمْ كَمَا بَلَوْنَآ أَصْحَـبَ الْجَنَّةِ إِذْ أَقْسَمُواْ لَيَصْرِمُنَّهَا مُصْبِحِينَ - وَلاَ يَسْتَثْنُونَ - فَطَافَ عَلَيْهَا طَآئِفٌ مِّن رَّبِّكَ وَهُمْ نَآئِمُونَ - فَأَصْبَحَتْ كَالصَّرِيمِ - فَتَنَادَوْاْ مُصْبِحِينَ - أَنِ اغْدُواْ عَلَى حَرْثِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـرِمِينَ - فَانطَلَقُواْ وَهُمْ يَتَخَـفَتُونَ - أَن لاَّ يَدْخُلَنَّهَا الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِّسْكِينٌ - وَغَدَوْاْ عَلَى حَرْدٍ قَـدِرِينَ - فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهَا قَالُواْ إِنَّا لَضَآلُّونَ بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ قَالَ أَوْسَطُهُمْ أَلَمْ أَقُلْ لَّكُمْ لَوْلاَ تُسَبِّحُونَ قَالُواْ سُبْحَـنَ رَبِّنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا ظَـلِمِينَ فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ يَتَلَـوَمُونَ قَالُواْ يوَيْلَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا طَـغِينَ عَسَى رَبُّنَآ أَن يُبْدِلَنَا خَيْراً مِّنْهَآ إِنَّآ إِلَى رَبِّنَا رَغِبُونَ كَذَلِكَ الْعَذَابُ وَلَعَذَابُ الاٌّخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ لَوْ كَانُواْ يَعْلَمُونَ ( When they swore to pluck the fruits of the (garden ) in the morning.
Without saying: "If Allah wills." Then there passed by on the ( garden ) a visitation ( fire ) from your Lord at night, burning it while they were asleep.
So the ( garden ) became black by the morning, like a pitch dark night ( in complete ruins ).
Then they called out one to another as soon as the morning broke.
Saying: "Go to your tilth in the morning, if you would pluck the fruits." So they departed, conversing in secret low tones ( saying ).
"No poor person shall enter upon you into it today." And they went in the morning with strong intention, thinking that they have power ( to prevent the poor taking anything of the fruits therefrom ).
But when they saw the ( garden ), they said: "Verily, we have gone astray." ( Then they said ): "Nay! Indeed we are deprived of ( the fruits )!" The best among them said: "Did I not tell you, why say you not: `If Allah wills'." They said: "Glory to Our Lord! Verily, we have been wrongdoers." Then they turned one against another, blaming.
They said: "Woe to us! We have transgressed.
We hope that our Lord will give us in exchange a better ( garden ) than this.
Truly, we turn to our Lord." Such is the punishment ( in this life ), but truly, the punishment of the Hereafter is greater if they but knew.) 68:18-33. Prohibiting Extravagance Allah said, وَلاَ تُسْرِفُواْ إِنَّهُ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِفِينَ ( And waste not by extravagance.
Verily, He likes not the wasteful. ) It was said that the extravagance prohibited here refers to excessive charity beyond normal amounts.
Ibn Jurayj said, "This Ayah was revealed concerning Thabit bin Qays bin Shammas, who plucked the fruits of his date palms.
Then he said to himself, `This day, every person who comes to me, I will feed him from it.' So he kept feeding ( them ) until the evening came and he ended up with no dates.
Allah sent down, وَلاَ تُسْرِفُواْ إِنَّهُ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِفِينَ ( And waste not by extravagance.
Verily, He likes not the wasteful. )" Ibn Jarir recorded this statement from Ibn Jurayj.
However, thhe apparent meaning of this Ayah, and Allah knows best, is that; كُلُواْ مِن ثَمَرِهِ إِذَآ أَثْمَرَ وَءَاتُواْ حَقَّهُ يَوْمَ حَصَادِهِ وَلاَ تُسْرِفُواْ ( Eat of their fruit when they ripen, but pay the due thereof on the day of their harvest, and waste not... ) refers to eating, meaning, do not waste in eating because this spoils the mind and the body.
Allah said in another Ayah, وكُلُواْ وَاشْرَبُواْ وَلاَ تُسْرِفُواْ ( And eat and drink but waste not by extravagance. ) 7: 31 In his Sahih, Al-Bukhari recorded a Hadith without a chain of narration; a
«كُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا وَالْبَسُوا مِنْ غَيْرِ إِسْرَافٍ وَلَا مَخِيلَة»
( Eat, drink and clothe yourselves without extravagance or arrogance. ) Therefore, these Ayat have the same meaning as this Hadith.
and Allah knows best. Benefits of Cattle Allah's statement, وَمِنَ الأَنْعَـمِ حَمُولَةً وَفَرْشًا ( And of the cattle (are some ) for burden and ( some smaller ) for Farsh.) means, He created cattle for you, some of which are suitable for burden, such as camels, and some are Farsh.
Ath-Thawri narrated that Abu Ishaq said that Abu Al-Ahwas said that `Abdullah said that `animals for burden' are the camels that are used for carrying things, while, `Farsh', refers to small camels.
Al-Hakim recorded it and said, "Its chain is Sahih and they did not record it." `Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam said that `animals for burden' refers to the animals that people ride, while, `Farsh' is that they eat ( its meat ) and milk it.
The sheep is not able to carry things, so you eat its meat and use its wool for covers and mats ( or clothes ).
This statement of `Abdur-Rahman is sound, and the following Ayat testify to it, أَوَلَمْ يَرَوْاْ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَا لَهُم مِمَّا عَمِلَتْ أَيْدِينَآ أَنْعـماً فَهُمْ لَهَا مَـلِكُونَ - وَذَلَّلْنَـهَا لَهُمْ فَمِنْهَا رَكُوبُهُمْ وَمِنْهَا يَأْكُلُونَ ( Do they not see that We have created for them of what Our Hands have created, the cattle, so that they are their owners.
And We have subdued them unto them so that some of them they have for riding and some they eat. ) 36:71-72, and, وَإِنَّ لَكُمْ فِى الاٌّنْعَـمِ لَعِبْرَةً نُّسْقِيكُمْ مِّمَّا فِى بُطُونِهِ مِن بَيْنِ فَرْثٍ وَدَمٍ لَّبَنًا خَالِصًا سَآئِغًا لِلشَّارِبِينَ ( And verily, in the cattle, there is a lesson for you.
We give you to drink of that which is in their bellies, from between excretions and blood, pure milk; palatable to the drinkers. ) 16:66, until, وَمِنْ أَصْوَافِهَا وَأَوْبَارِهَا وَأَشْعَارِهَآ أَثَـثاً وَمَتَـعاً إِلَى حِينٍ ( And of their wool, fur and hair, furnishings and articles of convenience, comfort for a while. ) 16:80. Eat the Meat of These Cattle, But Do Not Follow Shaytan's Law Concerning Them Allah said, كُلُواْ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ ( Eat of what Allah has provided for you, ) of fruits, produce and cattle.
Allah created all these and provided you with them as provision. وَلاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ خُطُوَتِ الشَّيْطَـنِ ( and follow not the footsteps of Shaytan. ) meaning, his way and orders, just as the idolators followed him and prohibited fruits and produce that Allah provided for them, claiming that this falsehood came from Allah. إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ ( Surely, he is to you ) meaning; Shaytan, O people, is to you, عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ ( an open enemy ) and his enmity to you is clear and apparent.
Allah said in other Ayat, إِنَّ الشَّيْطَـنَ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ فَاتَّخِذُوهُ عَدُوّاً إِنَّمَا يَدْعُو حِزْبَهُ لِيَكُونُواْ مِنْ أَصْحَـبِ السَّعِيرِ ( Surely, Shaytan is an enemy to you, so take (treat ) him as an enemy.
He only invites his Hizb ( followers ) that they may become the dwellers of the blazing Fire.
) 35:6 and, يَـبَنِى آدَمَ لاَ يَفْتِنَنَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَـنُ كَمَآ أَخْرَجَ أَبَوَيْكُم مِّنَ الْجَنَّةِ يَنزِعُ عَنْهُمَا لِبَاسَهُمَا لِيُرِيَهُمَا سَوْءَتِهِمَآ ( O Children of Adam! Let not Shaytan deceive you, as he got your parents out of Paradise, stripping them of their raiment, to show them their private parts. ) 7:27 and, أَفَتَتَّخِذُونَهُ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِى وَهُمْ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ بِئْسَ لِلظَّـلِمِينَ بَدَلاً ( Will you then take him (Iblis ) and his offspring as protectors and helpers rather than Me while they are enemies to you What an evil is the exchange for the wrongdoers.)18:50 There are many other Ayat on this subject.

(6:141) It is He Who has brought into being gardens *116 - the trellised and untrellised - and the palm trees, and crops, all varying in taste, and.the olive and pomegranates, all resembling one another and yet so different. Eat of their fruits when they come to fruition and pay His due on the day of harvesting. And do not exceed the proper limits, for He does not love those who exceed the proper limits.

And He it is who causes gardens meaning

*116).
Tle Arabic expression " Jannaatim Ma'rushaatin wa khairu ma'rushatin " signifies two kinds of gardens: first, those consisting of trellised plants and, second, those consisting of trees which stand on their own.

 

Allah Created the Produce, Seed Grains and Cattle Allah states that He created everything, including the produce, fruits and cattle that the idolators mishandled by their misguided ideas, dividing them into various designated parts, allowing some and prohibiting some.
Allah said, وَهُوَ الَّذِى أَنشَأَ جَنَّـتٍ مَّعْرُوشَـتٍ وَغَيْرَ مَعْرُوشَـتٍ ( And it is He Who produces gardens Ma`rushat and not Ma`rushat, ) `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn `Abbas commented, "Ma`rushat refers to what the people trellise, while `not Ma`rushat' refers to fruits ( and produce ) that grow wild inland and on mountains." `Ata' Al-Khurasani said that Ibn `Abbas said, "Ma`rushat are the grapevines that are trellised, while `not Ma`rushat' refers to grapevines that are not trellised."

( He it is Who produceth ) creates ( gardens trellised ) spread out: i.e. not resting on trunks such as vines and other vegetations ( and untrellised ) that which rests on trunks such as walnuts and almonds, ( and the date-palm, and crops of diverse flavour ) sweetness and sourness, ( and the olive ) and He created the olive tree ( and the pomegranate ) of pomegranate trees, ( like ) in colour and appearance ( and unlike ) in taste. ( Eat you of the fruit thereof ) of the fruit of the palm-tree ( when it fruits ) when it ripens, ( and pay the due thereof upon the harvest day ) it could also mean upon measuring it, ( and be not prodigal ) do not spend in disobedience of Allah nor prevent the obedience of Allah; it is also said that this means: do not forbid the Bahirah, the Sa’ibah, the Wasilah and the Ham. ( Lo! Allah loveth not the prodigals ) those who spend in disobedience of Allah; or it could mean: the idolaters. It is said that this verse was revealed about Thabit Ibn Qays who collected with his own hands the harvest of 500 palm-trees and gave it away, not leaving a thing for his own family.

And it is He Who produces gardens trellised and untrellised, and date-palms, and crops of different shape and taste (its fruits and its seeds) and olives, and pomegranates, similar (in kind) and different (in taste). Eat of their fruit when they ripen, but pay the due thereof (its Zakat, according to Allah's Orders 1/10th or 1/20th) on the day of its harvest, and waste not by extravagance. Verily, He likes not Al-Musrifun (those who waste by extravagance),
