It is He who sends the winds, as bearers of good tidings, before His benevolence,

and do not dispute among yourselves, lest you give ground and your momentum depart;

until, when you are in the vessel and it sails with them by a wholesome wind, and they rejoice in it, a violent wind comes upon it, the swell comes at them from every side, and they presume they are encompassed — then they call upon God, devoting the Law exclusively to Him: "If You save us from this, we will surely be among the grateful."

And We sent the fecundating winds, and then sent down from the sky a water with which We gave you drink, and which you do not hold in reserve.

And when your Guardian said to the Agents: "I am indeed going to create a human from resonant clay, from molded mud; when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My Influx, bow before him in prostration."

And they ask you about the Influx.

Say: "The Influx is of my Guardian's command; and you have been given of knowledge only a little."

It is He who has sent the winds, as bearers of good tidings, before His benevolence,

Is it not He who guides you in the darknesses of land and sea, and who sends the winds, as bearers of good tidings, before His benevolence?

And among His signs is that He sends the winds as bearers of good tidings, so as to let you taste of His benevolence, and so that the vessels may sail by His command, and so that you may seek His favor, and perhaps you will be grateful.

And if We sent a wind, and they saw it turn yellow, they would stay on, after that, disowning.

We sent upon them an icy wind, on a day of persistent misfortune, tearing men away as if they were trunks of uprooted palm trees.

And the earth, He set it down for the creatures; therein are savoury fruits, the palm with its enclosed spathes, the grain with its husk, and the fragrant plant.
