His saying: "in its hardship and its ease" — what is meant by "hardship" is difficulty and drought, and by "ease" is prosperity and abundance, and the meaning is that one should bring forth the right of Allah in times of constraint and drought, and in times of plenty and abundance. "When it is at its most vigorous" — that is, fastest and most active. "And at its most thriving" — that is, at its fattest; from "al-sirr," which is the core, and it is said: from "al-surur" (joy), and it is narrated: "at its most exuberant" — that is, at its most pampered and active. "It is thrown down" — that is, cast on its face. "On a wide plain" — that is, a spacious place, and "qarqar": the level ground. Abridged from the commentary of al-Sindi.
And see what will come under numbers (2448) and (2482).
