Al-Mursalat 77:25–28
Sweet fresh water
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ كِفَاتًا ٢٥ أَحْيَآءًۭ وَأَمْوَٰتًۭا ٢٦ وَجَعَلْنَا فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ شَٰمِخَٰتٍۢ وَأَسْقَيْنَٰكُم مَّآءًۭ فُرَاتًۭا ٢٧ وَيْلٌۭ يَوْمَئِذٍۢ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٢٨
The meaning, simply
Did Allah not make the earth hold the living on its back and the dead within it, place firm, tall mountains on it, and give you sweet water to drink? Woe that Day to the deniers.
