فَأَعْرَضُوا۟ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَيْلَ ٱلْعَرِمِ وَبَدَّلْنَٰهُم بِجَنَّتَيْهِمْ جَنَّتَيْنِ ذَوَاتَىْ أُكُلٍ خَمْطٍ وَأَثْلٍ وَشَىْءٍ مِّن سِدْرٍ قَلِيلٍ
‘Arim means, a dam or dams constructed in valleys or torrent-beds; or a torrent of which the rush is not to be withstood; or violent rain (Lane). A mighty flood caused the dam of Ma’arib, to which the Sabaeans owed all their prosperity, to burst and inundate the whole area causing widespread ruin. A land full of beautiful gardens, streams and great works of art, was turned into a vast waste. The dam was about two miles long and 120 ft. high. It was destroyed about the first or second century A.D. (Palmer).

Important Words:
سیل العرم (fierce flood). سیل is derived from سال which means, it (the water) flowed. سیل means, a torrent, a flow of water; much water or a collection of rain-water flowing in a valley or water course. ماء سیل means, flowing or running water. عرم is derived from عرم (‘arama or ‘aruma) which means, he was or became evil in disposition; he behaved insolently or he was or became corrupt. عرم means, a dam or dams constructed in valleys or torrent-beds; or a torrent of which the rush is not to be withstood; or violent rain (Lane &Aqrab).
Commentary:
Such is the irony of human circumstances that whenever man is blessed with material comforts and amenities of life and leads a prosperous and successful life, then instead of being grateful to God for His blessings and favours, he becomes arrogant and begins to behave ungratefully and insolently. The Sabaeans were no exception to the common run of humanity. In the day of prosperity they fell into evil ways and defied and broke Divine laws. The inevitable nemesis seized them. The same dam of Ma’arib to which they owed all their wealth and prosperity caused their destruction. As the result of a mighty flood it burst and inundated the whole area causing wide-spread ruin. A land full of beautiful gardens, streams and great works of art was turned into a vast waste. The dam was about two miles long and 120 ft. high. It was destroyed about the first or second century A.D. (Palmer).

在人类的思想中, 无法想象穆圣在他的精神升天中所达到的靠近安拉的高度; 这节经文也可表示, 在那高度, 他的面前展现出安拉知识的无止境的海洋以及现实和真理。سَدِر (Sadir) 与 سِدْرَة (Sidrah) 源出同一词根, 意是大海 (Lane)。

In his Spiritual Ascension the Holy Prophet had reached such a high stage of nearness to God as was beyond human mind to conceive; or, the verse may signify that at that stage a sea of endless vistas of Divine knowledge and eternal realities and verities opened out before him; Sidrah which is derived from the same root meaning the sea (Lane). Or, the verse may possess a symbolic allusion to the fact that Divine knowledge vouchsafed to the Holy Prophet would, like the lote-tree, give comfort and shelter to the tired and jaded limbs of the spiritual wayfarers. Moreover, as the leaves of the lote-tree possess the quality of safeguarding a dead body from becoming corrupt, the verse may signify that the Teaching revealed to the Holy Prophet not only is itself immune to, but is eminently fitted to save and preserve mankind from, corruption.

فِى سِدْرٍ مَّخْضُودٍ
酸枣树茂密成荫时是十分惬意的, 在炎热干燥的阿拉伯气候中, 疲乏劳累的旅人在树荫下纳凉休息。由 مَخْضُوْد (Makhdud) 修饰的 سِدْر (Sidr) 这个词的意思是, 天园中的树木不仅长得茂密而令人愉悦, 可以纳凉, 而且硕果累累而弯下了树枝, 即天园的福祉既令人愉悦又是很丰富的。
When the shade of lote-tree becomes dense and crowded, it is very pleasant, and in the hot and dry climate of Arabia the tired and fatigued travellers take shelter and find rest under it. The word Sidr having been qualified by Makhdud signifies that the trees of Paradise will not only give pleasant and plenteous shade but will also bend down on account of the abundance of their fruit, i.e. the blessings of Paradise will both be pleasant and plentiful.
Important Words:
For سدر (lote-trees) see 53:17.
مخضود (thornless) is derived from خضد which means, he broke wood or a branch or twig or a soft thing so that its parts did not separate; he bent without breaking wood or a branch or twig. They say خضد الشجر i.e. he cut off or removed the thorns of the trees; مخضود means, a tree having its thorns removed, a thornless tree. The word also means, a tree having the branches bent by reason of the abundance of its fruit (Lane & Aqrab).
