وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُرْسِلُ ٱلرِّيَـٰحَ بُشْرًۢا بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَحْمَتِهِۦ ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَقَلَّتْ سَحَابًا ثِقَالًا سُقْنَـٰهُ لِبَلَدٍ مَّيِّتٍ فَأَنزَلْنَا بِهِ ٱلْمَآءَ فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِۦ مِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نُخْرِجُ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ

Rahmetinin önünde, müjdeci olarak rüzgarları gönderen Allah'tır. Rüzgarlar, yağmur yüklü bulutları taşıdığında, onu ölü bir memlekete gönderir, su indirir ve onunla her türlü ürünü yetiştiririz; ölüleri de bunun gibi diriltip, çıkarırız; belki bundan ibret alırsınız.
It is God who sends the winds as glad tidings before his mercy, until, when they bear heavy clouds, we drive them to a dead land and send down water through them, and bring forth fruits of every kind. So will we bring forth the dead — perhaps you will take heed.
Readers of the Qur'an differ over the word describing the winds: in ʿĀṣim's reading it is bushran, bearers of good news, while Nafiʿ and others read nushuran, spread wide, from the root of nushūr, the raising of the dead, which is where this verse ends. Mid-sentence the speaker shifts from he sends to we drive, as the clouds are brought over the dead land. The mercy said to be near those who do good one verse earlier arrives here in its most literal form, as rain.
