Surah Al Ala ayat 5 Tafsir Quran 87:5

﴿فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاءً أَحْوَىٰ﴾
[ الأعلى: 5]

87:5 And [then] makes it black stubble.

then made it after verdancy blackened stubble desiccated broken chaff.

Then He makes it decay and causes its degeneration

(87:5) and then made it into a blackish straw. *6

And [then] makes it black stubble. meaning

*6) That is, " He does not only bring about spring but autumn as well.
You witness both the manifestations of this power.
On the one side, He causes lush green vegetation to grow, the freshness of which pleases the hearts and, on the other, He renders the same vegetation pale, dry and black rubbish, which is blown about by winds and swept away by floods.
Therefore, no one here should be involved in the misunderstanding that he will only experience spring and will never see autumn. " This same theme has been expressed at several other places in the Qur'an in other ways.
For example see Yunus: 24, Al-Kahf: 45, Al-Hadid; 20.

 

( Then turneth it ) after being green ( to russet stubble ) i.e. He makes it dry and black when it exceeds a year.

And then makes it dark stubble.
