Ash-Shuara (The Poets)
Verse 148
Translation:
148. "And corn-fields and date-palms with spathes near breaking (with the weight of fruit)?
Notes (Tafseer):
3204. The date palm flowers on a long spathe: when the Howers develop into fruit, the heavy ones hang with the load of fruit. The Thamud evidently were proud of their skill in producing corn and fruit and in hewing fine dwellings out of rocks, like the later dwellings of Roman times in the town of Petra.
