As for the good land the one of rich soil its vegetation comes forth wholesomely by permission of its Lord — this is a similitude of the believer who when he hears an admonition he heeds it and benefits from it. While as for the one whose soil is bad — the vegetation in it comes forth only miserably laboriously and with difficulty — this is the similitude of the disbeliever. Even as We have made clear what has been mentioned so We dispense We make clear the signs for a people who are thankful to God and so believe.
- 7:5858
وَالْبَلَدُ الطَّيِّبُ يَخْرُجُ نَبَاتُهُ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِ ۖ وَالَّذِي خَبُثَ لَا يَخْرُجُ إِلَّا نَكِدًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ الْآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَشْكُرُونَ
The soil that is good produces (rich) crops by the will of its Lord, and that which is had yields only what is poor. So do We explain Our signs in different ways to people who give thanks.
