"And present to them the example of the worldly life: [it is] like rain which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it."

Muhammad said: It means: it rushed into the vegetation, so the vegetation took its adornment. "And [then] it becomes dry remnants, scattered by the winds." He informs that this world is transient and vanishing, just as that vegetation vanished after its splendor and ornamentation.
