An-Naba 78:14–16
Rain and plants
وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءًۭ ثَجَّاجًۭا ١٤ لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّۭا وَنَبَاتًۭا ١٥ وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا ١٦
The meaning, simply
Allah sends down heavy rain from the clouds, and with it brings out the grains we eat, the plants animals eat, and gardens whose branches twist together.
