Surah 'Abasa — 80:27

فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا

Fa ambatna feeha habba

Sonra yeryüzünü iyice yarmakta ve orada taneli ekinler, üzümler, sebzeler, zeytin, hurma ağaçları ve bahçelerde koca koca ağaçlı meyveler ve çayırlar bitirmekteyiz.

and we caused grain to grow in it,

Reflection

Grain leads a list of eight, the staple named ahead of grapes, olives and orchards, so the sequence moves from what keeps a person alive to what makes living pleasant. The verbs in the chain are forceful: water poured down, the earth split open, and only then growth — ordinary bread arrives as the result of something done to the ground. Surah ʿAbasa asked the reader to look at what he eats, the smallest object it could have chosen.
