2064: And benefits for the people: 2: Regarding the Almighty's saying: "And benefits for the people," al-Qurtubi said:

As for the wine, it refers to the profit of trade, as they used to import it from al-Sham (the Levant) at a low price and sell it in the Hijaz at a profit. They would not consider haggling over it, so the seeker of wine would buy the wine at a high price.

This is the most authentic of what has been said regarding its benefits. It has also been said regarding its benefits: that it digests food, strengthens weakness, assists in sexual intercourse, makes the miser generous, makes the coward brave, clears the complexion, in addition to other forms of enjoyment from it.

395: 2081: The Reformer: 1: Al-Qurtubi said: This mixing is like mixing the same with the same, such as dates with dates. Abu 'Ubayd said:

Mixing with the orphans: It is that one of them has wealth and it is difficult for his guardian to separate his food from his own, and he finds no way but to mix it with his family's expenses. He takes from the orphan's wealth what he deems sufficient by estimation and puts it with his family's expenses. This involves increase and decrease, and thus this abrogating verse came with the concession regarding it.
