قوله تعالى: ﴿وأنزلنا من المعصرات﴾ [النبأ: 14] هي السحاب لأنها تعتصر المطر، أي تعض به. وقيل: هي السحاب التي تأتي بالإعصار وهي الريح التي تثير الغبار.

Verses 1–1 of 1

  1. Each word opens its meaning.

    Does any of you wish That he should have a garden With date-palms and vines And streams flowing Underneath, and all kinds Of fruit, while he is stricken With old age, and his children Are not strong (enough To look after themselves)— That it should be caught In a whirlwind, With fire therein, And be burnt up? Thus doth God make clear To you (His) Signs; That ye may consider.

    Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:266
