Transliteration:( Wa la'in arsalnaa reehan fara awhu musfarral lazalloo mim ba'dihee yakfuroon )
"And if We send any wind [115] by which they see the harvest yellow, even after that they would certainly be ungrateful [116]."
In Qur’anic terminology, the wind of mercy is called Reeyah, while the wind of punishment is called Reeh. Initially, the word Reeyah was used in the context of rain and blessings, whereas here, in the context of punishment or trial, Reeh is mentioned.
Despite witnessing clear signs such as the wind that ripens the harvest, the disbelievers remain ungrateful. They are neither thankful in times of prosperity nor patient in adversity. Instead, they show arrogance and boastfulness when blessed, and impatience when afflicted with calamities.
The tafsir of Surah Ar-Rum verse 51 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Rum ayat 48 which provides the complete commentary from verse 48 through 51.
(30:51) But if We were to send a wind and then their tilth has become yellow,[74] they would never cease to disbelieve.[75]
74. That is, a frosty wind or a heat wave which ruins their crops after they started flourishing by the shower of rain.
75. That is, they start cursing God and blaming Him for all their misfortunes and troubles, whereas when God had showered His blessings on them, they had shown ingratitude instead of being grateful to Him. Here again there is a subtle allusion to the theme that when the Messengers of Allah bring the messages of mercy to the people, they do not listen to them and reject the blessing; then when God imposes tyrants and despots upon them in consequence of their disbelief, who persecute them severely, and destroy their humanity, the same people start abusing and blaming God for creating a world full of tyranny and cruelty.
[1154]- Denying and ungrateful for the previous favors of Allāh.
