They turned away refusing

Chapter “SABAA’” - (Saba) - 34

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.

 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

فَأَعْرَضُوا۟ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَيْلَ ٱلْعَرِمِ وَبَدَّلْنَٰهُم بِجَنَّتَيْهِمْ جَنَّتَيْنِ ذَوَاتَىْ أُكُلٍ خَمْطٍ وَأَثْلٍ وَشَىْءٍ مِّن سِدْرٍ قَلِيلٍ 16  ذَٰلِكَ جَزَيْنَٰهُم بِمَا كَفَرُوا۟ وَهَلْ نُجَٰزِىٓ إِلَّا ٱلْكَفُورَ 17  

                                       

16.  Then they were froward, so We sent on them the flood of ‘Aram, and in exchange for their two gardens gave them two gardens bearing bitter fruit, the tamarisk and here and there a lote-tree. 17.  This We awarded them because of their ingratitude. And punish We ever any save the ingrates?

16.  Fa-‘a’-razuu  fa-‘arsalNaa  ‘alayhim  saylal-‘Arimi  wa  bad-dalNaahum  bi-janna-tayhim  jannatayni  zawaatay  ‘ukulin  khamtinw-wa  ‘aslinw-wa  shay-‘im-min-  sidrin-  qaliil. 17.  Zaalika  jazayNaahum  bimaa  kafaruu.  Wa  hal  Nujaaziii  ‘illal-kafuur.

Commentary

When peace and rest is acquired by the mankind in all respect, climate is suitable and produce is abundant, then nothing is visible to him save it that he should fulfill his all desires. If it is caused to understand him that all things are in his possession by the kindness of Allaah Almighty, so he should be thankful to Him and choose the way directed by Him, then he becomes haughty. Consequence of such people can never be good as it has been described in this verse.

It is commanded: They did not agree to those who advised them. Therefore We punished them. A heavy flood came; which broke the Dam. That big Dam was near their Maarib Township. It was called Saddi-Maarib or Aram. Entire gardens of fruit and fields of green crops had become desolate due to deep water, and when the water was dried then nothing was safe there. At the place of those two gardens of fruit, two dry fields were born, in which there were gardens of bitter fruit, tamarisks and something of sparse lote trees.

It is commanded: We awarded them because of their ingratitude and fulfilling their desires. When a man forgets manners and commits according to own will, then at last he is ruined like this. But the people who are grateful to Allaah Almighty and act upon His commandments, He saves them from worse consequence and gives them good rewards.
