"[He] knows what enters into the earth," of rain, "and what emerges from it," of vegetation, "and what descends from the heaven," of rain and other things, "and what ascends therein," meaning: that which rises, namely: that which the angels ascend with. "And He is the Merciful, the Forgiving," to those who believe.

Muhammad said: It is said, 'araj ya'ruju' if one ascends, and 'arija' - with a kasra - 'ya'raju' if one becomes lame.
