P: Hast thou not seen how Allah wafteth the clouds, then gathereth them,
then maketh them layers, and thou seest the rain come forth from

goeth upon its belly and (a kind) that goeth upon two legs and (a kind)
that goeth upon four. Allah createth what He will. Lo! Allah is Able to
do all things.

S: And Allah has created from water every living creature: so of them is

two feet, and of them is that which walks upon four; Allah creates what
He pleases; surely Allah has power over all things.
