سورة الانسان

The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family): The streams flow beneath their dwelling rooms, and this is the meaning of the word of the Lord who says: تَجْرِی مِنْ تَحْتِهِمُ الْأَنْهارُ [rivers flow beneath them], وَ دانِیَةً عَلَیْهِمْ ظِلالُها وَ ذُلِّلَتْ قُطُوفُها تَذْلِیلًا [and its shadows are close upon them and its fruits are made near, easy to reach]. Because of the extreme nearness, the believer can take any fruit he wishes with his mouth while reclining, and every kind of fruit says to the friend of Allah: "O friend of Allah! Eat me before you eat that one before me."

Ali ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him): وَ دَانِیَةً عَلَیْهِمْ ظِلَالُهَا [and the shadows [of the trees] are close upon them] — the distance between them and the shade of the trees is little; and what is meant by وَ ذُلِّلَتْ قُطُوفُهَا تَذْلِیلًا is that: the fruits of those trees hang from the branches, such that one can pluck from the fruit of those trees both while sitting and while standing.
