وَهُوَ الَّذِي مَدَّ الْأَرْضَ وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَأَنْهَارًا وَمِن كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ جَعَلَ فِيهَا زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ يُغْشِي اللَّيْلَ النَّهَارَ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
It is He who has spread out the earth and set in it firm mountains and streams, and of every fruit in it He has made two kinds. He draws the night’s cover over the day. There are indeed signs in that for a people who reflect.
Agha Ali Puya Commentary
Commentary on Quran 13:3
[Pooya/Ali Commentary 13:3] In Ya Sin: 36; Zariyat: 49, and Rahman: 52 also it has been said that all created beings, including animals and plants have been created with reproductive apparatus-male stamens and female pistils, owing their existence to each other; and in the end they all fly (turn to or hasten to 3 Allah, because there is no refuge save in His mercy and there is no escape from His justice. Aqa Mahdi Puya says: The followers of the school of Ahl ul Bayt believe that whatever the Holy Prophet said or did was in the light of revelations, for verse 15 of Yunus says that he followed nothing but what is revealed to him-there are several types of revelations, such as the verses of the Quran, or wahi not disclosed in spoken words, hadith qudsi; and all these governed his whole life. So the fabricated tradition that he was unaware of the necessity of fertilisation of the female date- palm, implying that he used to make mistakes whenever he used his own discretion, should be rejected outright.
