Al-Israa • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتُ ٱلسَّبْعُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ ۚ وَإِن مِّن شَىْءٍ إِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِهِۦ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تَفْقَهُونَ تَسْبِيحَهُمْ ۗ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًۭا ﴾
“The seven heavens extol His limitless glory, and the earth, and all that they contain; and there is not a single thing but extols His limitless glory and praise: but you [O men] fail to grasp the manner of their glorifying Him! Verily, He is forbearing, much-forgiving!”
(The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein) of created beings (praise Him, and there is not a thing) among plants (but hymneth his praise) His command; (but ye understand not their praise) you do not understand the language in which it is said. (Lo! He is ever Clement) with His servants since He does not hasten punishment on them, (Forgiving) of those who repent.
