Tafsir jalalayn

Eat, thereof, and pasture your cattle, therein (an`m, `cattle', is the plural of na`am, which are camels, cows and sheep; one says ra`atu'l-an`mu, `the cattle grazed' or ra`aytuh, `I grazed them'; the imperative here is meant as a permissive and a reminder of [God's] grace, the sentence being a circumstantial qualifier referring to the subject of [the verb] akhrajn, `We brought forth', in other words [what is meant is], `[We brought forth the plants] permitting you to eat thereof and to graze [your] cattle [thereon]'). In that, which is mentioned here, there are indeed signs, indeed lessons, for people of sense, possessors of intellect (al- nuh, the plural of nuhya, similar [in pattern] to ghurfa, [plural] ghuraf. The intellect is called by this [term, nuhya] because it shows a person the sense to refrain from committing vile deeds).
