Tafheem ul Quran

Surah 51 Adh-Dhariyat, Ayat 2-3

فَالۡحٰمِلٰتِ وِقۡرًا ۙ‏ ﴿51:2﴾ فَالۡجٰرِيٰتِ يُسۡرًا ۙ‏ ﴿51:3﴾

(51:2) which carry clouds laden with water,1 (51:3) which then smoothly speed along,


Notes

1. All the commentators agree that adh-dhariyat implies the winds that disperse and raise up the dust, and al-hamilati wiqran implies the winds that lift up millions of tons of water vapors from the oceans in the form of clouds. This same commentary has been reported from Umar, Ali, Abdullah bin Abbas, Abdullah bin Umar, and also from Mujahid, Saeed bin Jubair, Hasan Basri, Qatadah, Suddi and other scholars.
