2:265

Salaam all,

This is 2:265
وَمَثَلُ الَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمُ ابْتِغَاء مَرْضَاتِ اللّهِ وَتَثْبِيتًا مِّنْ أَنفُسِهِمْ كَمَثَلِ جَنَّةٍ بِرَبْوَةٍ أَصَابَهَا وَابِلٌ فَآتَتْ أُكُلَهَا ضِعْفَيْنِ فَإِن لَّمْ يُصِبْهَا وَابِلٌ فَطَلٌّ وَاللّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ
Wamathalu allatheena yunfiqoona amwalahumu ibtighaa mardati Allahi watathbeetan min anfusihim kamathali jannatin birabwatin asabaha wabilun faatat okulaha diAAfayni fain lam yusibha wabilun fatallun waAllahu bima taAAmaloona baseerun

The Aya says:
And (the) similitude of those who spend their money seeking Allah’s approval and strengthening establishment (of their relationship with God) from themselves, is like (the) similitude of a garden on a hill, hit by heavy rain then she made come her eatables, double. So, if heavy rain (Does) not hit her, then drizzle/dew. And Allah, in what you do, seeing.

My personal note:
The aya contrasts this similitude with the one that came before it in 2:264. In 2:264, the good deeds followed by reproach and that is being done for the seek of people rather than God, is like the heavy rain that hits the thin earth with no vegetation. The rain leaves the rocks under the earth bare and exposed.

As for here, the good deeds for the sake of God are likened to heavy rain that falls on a garden, the effect is a more productive garden. If the heavy rain did not fall then it is drizzle or dew, still positive and helpful, even if not as much as the heavy rain.

Translation of the transliterated words:

Yunfiqoona: they spend/ they tunnel

This is the concrete word and the derived words attain the other meanings of youth and desire as well as immature and ugly acts depending on the word and the place in the sentence.
