148-1. This is the detail of those blessings with which they were endowed. طلع refers to the sprout of the date palm that emerges for the first time, that is, when it rises. After this, the fruit of the date palm is called بلح, then بسر, then رطب, and after that, تمر. (Aysar al-Tafasir) In gardens, along with other fruits, the fruit of the date palm also appears, but since dates hold great importance among the Arabs, it is mentioned specifically as well. Several other meanings of ھضیم have also been stated, such as delicate and soft, layered, etc.
