[5] The literal meaning of ﴿مَرعٰي﴾ is fodder; that is, the food of animals which is fresh, such as grass, etc. However, in its broader meaning, it includes all vegetation. That is, it is Allah alone who brings spring and the season of spring to the earth. Then He also brings autumn. And the surplus parts of this fresh vegetation become litter and debris, trampled underfoot. Therefore, you should not become enamored only with the spring of this world, for autumn can also come upon it.
