26:134 - And Gardens and Springs.<br />

36:34 - And We produce therein orchards with date-palms and Vines and We cause springs to<br />

gush forth therein. 3978<br />

3978 Date-palms and vines stand as symbols for fruit-trees of all kinds, these being the characteristic fruits of Arabia. Grain<br />

was mentioned in the last verse; fruit is mentioned now. All that is necessary for food and the satisfaction of the<br />

choicest palate is produced from what looks like inert soil, fertilised by rain and springs. Here is wonderful evidence of<br />

the artistry and providence of Allah. (36.34)<br />

39:21 - Seest thou not that Allah sends down rain from the sky and leads it through springs in the<br />

earth? Then He causes to grow therewith produce of various colors: then it withers; thou wilt<br />

see it grow yellow; then He makes it dry up and crumble away. Truly in this is a Message of<br />

remembrance to men of understanding. 4273<br />

4273 The circuit of water, by which the rain falls from the clouds, is absorbed through the earth, and flows through rivers or<br />

underground streams to the sea, where it again rises as vapour and forms clouds, was explained in notes 3111-12 to<br />

xxv 53. Here our attention is drawn to one portion of the process. The rain fructifies the soil and the seeds. Produce of<br />

various kinds is raised. The harvest ripens and is gathered in. The plants wither, dry up, and crumble away. Men and<br />

animals are fed. And the circuit starts again in another season. Here is a Sign of the Grace and Goodness of Allah,<br />

clear to those who understand. (39.21)<br />

44:25 - How many were the gardens and springs they left behind. 4709<br />

4709 There follows a word-picture of all the fine and enjoyable things which the ruling caste had monopolised. Now these<br />

proud monopolists were drowned in the sea, and the inheritance went to other hands. (44.25)<br />

44:52 - Among Gardens and Springs;<br />

54:12 - And We caused the earth to gush forth with springs so the waters met (and rose) to the<br />

extent decreed. 5137<br />

5137 The torrents of rain from above combined with the gush of waters from underground springs, and caused a huge<br />

Flood which inundated the country. (54.12)<br />

55:50 - In them (each) will be two Springs flowing (free); 5206<br />

5206 Two Springs, for the same reasons as there will be two Gardens. See last note. (55.50)<br />

55:66 - In them (each) will be two springs pouring forth water in continuous abundance: 5215<br />

5215 In comparison with the Springs in the other two Gardens, described in lv. 50 above, these Springs would seem to<br />

irrigate crops of vegetables and fruits requiring a constant supply of abundant water. (55.66)<br />

77:41 - As to the Righteous they shall be amidst (cool) shades and springs (of water). 5883<br />

5883 This is in contrast to the triple shade of smoke and sin for the sinners, which neither gives them coolness nor protects<br />

them from the Blazing Fire. The Shade, i.e. Covering, of Allah's Good Pleasure, will be the greatest Boon of all, and<br />

the Spring of Allah's Love will be inexhaustible. (77.41)<br />

88:12 - Therein will be a bubbling spring: 6102<br />

6102 Instead of the boiling hot spring (verse 5) there will be a bubbling spring of sparkling water. Instead of the grovelling<br />

and grumbling in the place of Wrath, there Will be couches, with all the accompaniments of a brilliant assembly.<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 4.776<br />

Salim bin Abi Aj Jad<br />

Narrated by<br />

Jabir bin 'Abdullah said, "The people became very thirsty on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (Treaty). A small pot containing some<br />

water was in front of the Prophet and when he had finished the ablution, the people rushed towards him. He asked, 'What is<br />

wrong with you?' They replied, 'We have no water either for performing ablution or for drinking except what is present in front<br />

of you.' So he placed his hand in that pot and the water started flowing among his fingers like springs. We all drank and<br />

performed ablution (from it). I asked Jabir, "How many were you?" he replied, "Even if we had been one-hundred-thousand, it<br />

would have been sufficient for us, but we were fifteen-hundred."<br />

SPIRIT:<br />

2:45 - Nay seek (Allah's) help with patient perseverance and prayer: it is indeed hard except to<br />

those who bring a lowly spirit. 61<br />
