أَيَوَدُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ تَكُونَ لَه ُُ جَنَّة ٌ مِنْ نَخِيل ٍ وَأَعْنَاب ٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الأَنْهَارُ لَه ُُ فِيهَا مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ وَأَصَابَهُ الْكِبَرُ وَلَه ُُ ذُرِّيَّة ٌ ضُعَفَاءُ فَأَصَابَهَا إِعْصَار ٌ فِيه ِِ نَار ٌ فَاحْتَرَقَتْ كَذَلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمُ الآيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَفَكَّرُونَ

Does anyone of you desire that he have an estate with palm trees and grapevines, and rivers flowing beneath it, and in it for him are all kinds of fruits, then he is afflicted with old age and his progeny is weak, and a firestorm strikes it and it all burns? It is thus that God makes clear for you the signs that you may reflect.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاء ً فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِه ِِ نَبَاتَ كُلِّ شَيْء ٍ فَأَخْرَجْنَا مِنْهُ خَضِرا ً نُخْرِجُ مِنْهُ حَبّا ً مُتَرَاكِبا ً وَمِنَ النَّخْلِ مِنْ طَلْعِهَا قِنْوَان ٌ دَانِيَة ٌ وَجَنَّات ٍ مِنْ أَعْنَاب ٍ وَالزَّيْتُونَ وَالرُّمَّانَ مُشْتَبِها ً وَغَيْرَ مُتَشَابِه ٍ انظُرُوا إِلَى ثَمَرِهِ~ِ إِذَا أَثْمَرَ وَيَنْعِهِ~ِ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكُمْ لَآيَات ٍ لِقَوْم ٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ

And He is the One who sent down water from the heaven, and We brought out with it plants of every kind. We brought out from it the green, from which We bring out multiple seeds; and what is from the palm trees, from its sheaths hanging low and near; and gardens of grapes and olives and pomegranates, similar and not similar. Look at its fruit when it blossoms and its ripeness. In this are signs for a people who believe.

وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَنْشَأَ جَنَّات ٍ مَعْرُوشَات ٍ وَغَيْرَ مَعْرُوشَات ٍ وَالنَّخْلَ وَالزَّرْعَ مُخْتَلِفاً أُكُلُه ُُ وَالزَّيْتُونَ وَالرُّمَّانَ مُتَشَابِها ً وَغَيْرَ مُتَشَابِه ٍ ٍ كُلُوا مِنْ ثَمَرِهِ~ِ إِذَا أَثْمَرَ وَآتُوا حَقَّه ُُ يَوْمَ حَصَادِه ِِ وَلاَ تُسْرِفُوا إِنَّهُ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْمُسْرِفِينَ

And He is the One Who initiated gardens; both trellised and untrellised; and palm trees, and plants, all with different taste; and olives and pomegranates, similar and not similar.

And on the earth are neighboring pieces of land with gardens of grapes and plants and palm trees, some of which may be twin sharing the same root, or single, even though they are being watered with the same water source; and We make preference for some of them over others in what they consume.
