اَلَّذِیۡ جَعَلَ لَکُمُ الۡاَرۡضَ مَہۡدًا وَّسَلَکَ لَکُمۡ فِیۡہَا سُبُلًا وَّاَنۡزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَاَخۡرَجۡنَا بِہٖۤ اَزۡوٰجًا مِّنۡ نَّبَاتٍ شَتّٰی

Commentary:
The word ازواجاً (in pairs) points to a profound scientific truth which has only recently been discovered, viz. that there are pairs in the vegetable world as there are pairs in the animal world. Long before this scientific truth was discovered the Quran had stated it. It has further stated that all objects have been created in pairs (51:50). Science seems to be moving in the direction pointed by the Quran. Its discoveries in organic and inorganic matter have been increasingly supporting and substantiating the truth enunciated by the Quran centuries ago.
The verse under comment continues the argument begun in the previous verse, viz. that just as physical rain gives life to plants and vegetation, similarly water of Divine revelation is indispensable for the spiritual life of man.

اَلَمۡ تَرَ اَنَّ اللّٰہَ اَنۡزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَسَلَکَہٗ یَنٰبِیۡعَ فِی الۡاَرۡضِ ثُمَّ یُخۡرِجُ بِہٖ زَرۡعًا مُّخۡتَلِفًا اَلۡوٰنُہٗ ثُمَّ یَہِیۡجُ فَتَرٰٮہُ مُصۡفَرًّا ثُمَّ یَجۡعَلُہٗ حُطٰمًا ۚ اِنَّ فِیۡ ذٰلِکَ لَذِکۡرٰی لِاُولِی الۡاَلۡبٰبِ

Important Words:
ینابیع is the plural of ینبوع which is derived from نبع. They say نبع الماء i.e. the water issued forth from the spring. ینبوع means, a spring of water; a rivulet or streamlet in which there is much water. One would say:
فجر الله ینابیع الحکمة علی لسانه
i.e. God caused to flow springs of wisdom on his tongue (Aqrab).
حطاماً (broken straw) is derived from حطم which means, it broke or became broken into pieces. They say حطم فلانا اھله i.e. the family of such a one rendered him a broken man. حطمته السن means, age broke him or rendered him infirm. حطاماً means, what is broken into pieces; fragments, pieces (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
The verse means to say that when the earth becomes spiritually parched, God sends down rain in the form of Divine revelation and then it receives a new life and fruits and flowers of different hues, tastes and flavours grow, i.e. when a Divine Reformer appears, a community of righteous and God-fearing men is born, and pious and learned ‘ulema’ teach men the Word of God. Then there is a long interval and God’s Word is forgotten and His commandments are defied and disobeyed. Again, the earth becomes parched and dried up and again a generation of evil men, who are as good as dry fuel fit to be thrown into fire, is born and takes the place of good men. Thus the circle goes on.
