Obedience to Allah and Abundance of Sustenance:
That is, if the jinn and humans had remained obedient to Allah, We would have sent abundant rains upon them and granted them plenty of sustenance. And this is the same subject that has already been mentioned under Surah Nuh, verses 11 and 12. For details, see footnote number 5 of Surah Nuh.
