Transliteration:( Anna sabab nalmaa-a sabba. )
The freshness and mellowness provided by the rain cannot be replicated by the water from a well because the rainwater is distilled water that comes from the distant ocean and falls from above. Water from the earth does not have the same purity, as it cannot rise to the top, nor does it create cavities.
In the same manner, your good deeds will not be beneficial unless they are accompanied by the blessing of Sainthood and Prophethood.
Reflect on both physical nourishment and spiritual nourishment. Our deeds are like the grain, and the bounties of Prophethood are the rain of mercy that nourish and bless them.
The tafsir of Surah Abasa verse 25 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Abasa ayat 17 which provides the complete commentary from verse 17 through 32.
(80:25) We poured water, pouring it in great abundance,[18]
18. This refers to rainwater. Water vapors are raised in vast quantities from the oceans by the heat of the sun, then they are turned into thick clouds, then the winds blow and spread them over different parts of the earth, then because of the coolness in the upper atmosphere the vapors turn back to water and fall as rain in every area in a particular measure. The water not only falls as rain directly on the earth but also collects underground in the shape of wells and fountains, flows in the form of rivers and streams, freezes on the mountains as snow and melts and flows into rivers in other seasons as well than the rainy season. Has man himself made all these arrangements? Had his Creator not arranged this for his sustenance, could man survive on the earth.
