Ar-Rum 30:48

Word by word

ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى يُرْسِلُ ٱلرِّيَـٰحَ فَتُثِيرُ سَحَابًا فَيَبْسُطُهُۥ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ كَيْفَ يَشَآءُ وَيَجْعَلُهُۥ كِسَفًا فَتَرَى ٱلْوَدْقَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ خِلَـٰلِهِۦ ۖ فَإِذَآ أَصَابَ بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦٓ إِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ

It is Allāh who sends the winds, and they stir the clouds and spread them in the sky however He wills, and He makes them fragments so you see the rain emerge from within them. And when He causes it to fall upon whom He wills of His servants, immediately they rejoice

الله -سبحانه- هو الذي يرسل الرياح فتثير سحابًا مثقلا بالماء، فينشره الله في السماء كيف يشاء، ويجعله قطعًا متفرقة، فترى المطر يخرج من بين السحاب، فإذا ساقه الله إلى عباده إذا هم يستبشرون ويفرحون بأن الله صرف ذلك إليهم.
