Uses

1. حَدَآئِق → "enclosed gardens" : always in the plural, within an enumeration of plant gifts.

   • «فَأَنۢبَتْنَا بِهِۦ حَدَآئِقَ ذَاتَ بَهْجَةٍۢ» — "We caused enclosed gardens full of delight to grow" (27:60)
   • «وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًۭا» — "and dense enclosed gardens" (80:30)

Evidence from the text

The three uses are enumerations of gifts: enclosed gardens born of the water sent down from the sky (27:60), enclosed gardens and vineyards promised to those who guarded themselves (78:32), dense enclosed gardens among the palms and the fruits (80:30). The word is never alone: it names a planted and bounded space, beside other named produce.
