al-Anʿām 6:141-142

The Qurʾān · Sūra 6: al-Anʿām · verses 141-142

This commentary was written by Claude (Anthropic); it carries no religious authority and should be checked against the classical sources.

6/141-142

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنشَأَ جَنَّٰتٍ مَّعْرُوشَٰتٍ وَغَيْرَ مَعْرُوشَٰتٍ … وَءَاتُوا۟ حَقَّهُۥ يَوْمَ حَصَادِهِۦ وَلَا تُسْرِفُوٓا۟ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ

"It is He who brought into being gardens trellised and untrellised… Eat of their fruit when they bear, and give its due on the day of harvest, and do not be wasteful. He does not love the wasteful."

مَّعْرُوشَٰت — root ع-ر-ش: a trellis, a vine trained over a frame. The word denotes the frame on which the vine is raised in viticulture.

And the place of the verse must be recorded: verses 136-140 had described the invented shares and prohibitions. Verse 141 gives the real ruling about the same produce:

What was invented (136-140)What is stated (141)
Naṣīban … hādhā li'llāhi wa hādhā li-shurakāʾināWa ātū ḥaqqahū yawma ḥaṣādih
Hādhihi anʿāmun wa ḥarthun ḥijrKulū min thamarihī idhā athmar

I record this as my own reading, and its ground is that the two blocks come one after the other: against the invented apportionment the sūra sets a single due — the one to be given on the day of harvest. And it adds a qualification: wa lā tusrifū.

For isrāf I rely on al-Furqān 25/67 (lam yusrifū wa lam yaqturū) and al-Zumar 39/53 (asrafū ʿalā anfusihim).
