Ayah: 10

وَٱلنَّخۡلَ بَاسِقَٰتٖ لَّهَا طَلۡعٞ نَّضِيدٞ

10. And tall palm-trees with clusters of dates closely set one above another5,

5 .The righteous will flourish like a palm tree. They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green, proclaiming, “Allāh is upright; there is no evil from Him.” He is the Giver of all good gifts.
Once God's messenger asked his companions, "Amongst the trees, there is a tree, the leaves of which do not fall and is like a Muslim. Tell me the name of that tree." Everybody started thinking about the trees of the desert areas. A companion said: I thought of the date-palm but felt shy to answer. The others then asked, "What is that tree, O God's messenger ?" He replied, "It is the date-palm tree."
