Its root in the classical dictionaries
أصل المد: الجر، ومنه: المدة للوقت الممتد، ومدة الجرح، ومد النهر، ومده نهر آخر، ومددت عيني إلى كذا. قال تعالى: ولا تمدن عينيك
قوله تعالى: ﴿وإخوانهم يمدونهم في الغي﴾ [الأعراف: 202] وقرئ في المتواتر بفتح الياء وضمها من مده وأمده، فقيل: بمعنى واحد. يقال: مد النهر ومده، وأمده نهر آخر. وقيل: أمد في المحبوب نحو قوله: ﴿وأمددناهم بفاكهة ولحم﴾ [الطور: 22] ﴿ويمددكم بأموال﴾ [نوح: 12] وفي المكروه مد نحو قوله تعالى: ﴿ونمد له من العذاب مدا﴾ [مريم: 79]…
And it is He Who spread out
The earth, and set thereon
Mountains standing firm,
And (flowing) rivers: and fruit
Of every kind He made
In pairs, two and two:
He draweth the Night as a veil
O'er the Day. Behold, verily
In these things there are Signs
For those who consider!
Strain not thine eyes.
(Wistfully) at what We
Have bestowed on certain classes
Of them, nor grieve over them:
But lower thy wing
(in gentleness)
To the Believers.
Say: "If any men go
Astray, (God) Most Gracious
Extends (the rope) to them,
Until, when they see
The warning of God (being
Fulfilled)—either in punishment
Or in (the approach of)
The Hour,—they will
At length realise who is
Worst in position, and (who)
Weakest in forces!
Nor strain thine eyes in longing
For the things We have given
For enjoyment to parties ,
Of them, the splendour
Of the life of this world,
Through which We test them:
But the provision of thy Lord
Is better and more enduring.
If any think that God
Will not help him
(His Apostle) in this world
And the Hereafter, let him
Stretch out a rope
To the ceiling and cut (himself)
Off: then let him see
Whether his plan will remove
That which enrages (him)!
Hast thou not turned
Thy vision to thy Lord?—
How He doth prolong
The Shadow! If He willed,
He could make it stationary!
Then do We make
The sun its guide;
And if all the trees
On earth were pens
And the Ocean (were ink),
With seven Oceans behind it
To add to its (supply),
Yet would not the Words
Of God be exhausted
(In the writing): for God
Is Exalted in power,
Full of Wisdom.
