Vers: 13

وَيُسَبِّحُ ٱلرَّعۡدُ بِحَمۡدِهِۦ وَٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ مِنۡ خِيفَتِهِۦ وَيُرۡسِلُ ٱلصَّوَٰعِقَ فَيُصِيبُ بِهَا مَن يَشَآءُ وَهُمۡ يُجَٰدِلُونَ فِي ٱللَّهِ وَهُوَ شَدِيدُ ٱلۡمِحَالِ

(13) Thunder glorifies Him^[2885] in Gratitude and the angels out of fear of Him^[2886]; He sends thunderbolts and strikes with them whoever He wishes, yet they ˹still˺ argue regarding Allah—He is of mighty smites^[2887].

[2885] “Glorify Him the seven Heavens and the Earth and whatever is there in them; there is not a ˹single˺ thing but glorifies in gratitude to Him, but you ˹people˺ discern not their glorification!” (17: 44).
[2886] ʿAbdullāh Ibn al-Zubayr (رضي الله عنه) used to hold off from talking once he heard thunder and would say: ““Thunder glorifies Him in Gratitude and the angels out of fear of Him!” This threat to the people of Earth is formidable indeed!” (Quoted in al-Baghawī.)
[2887] al-Miḥāl is sematically complex; it means seizure, punishment, destruction, power and also scheming (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, Ibn Qutaibah, Gharīb al-Qur’ān, al-Iṣfahānī, al-Mufradāt).
