Behold, verily in these things there are signs for those who consider!

P: And He it is Who spread out the earth and placed therein firm hills
and flowing streams, and of all fruits He placed therein two spouses
(male and female). He covereth the night with the day. Lo! herein
verily are portents for people who take thought.

S: And He it is Who spread the earth and made in it firm mountains and
rivers, and of all fruits He has made in it two kinds; He makes the
night cover the day; most surely there are signs in this for a people
who reflect.

Y: And in the earth are tracts (diverse though) neighbouring, and
gardens of vines and fields sown with corn, and palm trees - growing
out of single roots or otherwise: watered with the same water, yet some
of them We make more excellent than others to eat. Behold, verily in

P: And in the Earth are neighbouring tracts, vineyards and ploughed
lands, and date-palms, like and unlike, which are watered with one
