Tafsir of 56:73
Allah's Oneness demonstrated by causing the Plants to grow, sending down the Rain Allah the Exalted said, أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ (Do you not see what you sow.) in reference to tilling the earth and planting seeds inside it, أَءَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُ (Is it you that make it grow,) `do you cause these seeds to grow inside the earth,' أَمْ نَحْنُ الزَرِعُونَ (or are We the Grower) Allah says, `rather it is We Who cause the seeds to remain firmly and grow inside the earth.'

Abu Hurayrah added, "Have you not heard Allah's statement, أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ - أَءَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُ أَمْ نَحْنُ الزَرِعُونَ (Do you not see what you sow. Is it you that make it grow, or are We the Grower)" Allah the Exalted said, لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَاهُ حُطَماً (Were it Our will, We could crumble it to dry pieces,) meaning, `We caused the seeds to grow with Our compassion and mercy and left them intact inside the earth as mercy for you.…
