15:22

وَأَرْسَلْنَا ٱلرِّيَـٰحَ لَوَٰقِحَ فَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَسْقَيْنَـٰكُمُوهُ وَمَآ أَنتُمْ لَهُۥ بِخَـٰزِنِينَ

wa-arsalnā l-riyāḥa lawāqiḥa fa-anzalnā mina l-samāi māan fa-asqaynākumūhu wamā antum lahu bikhāzinīna

And We have sent the fertilizing winds and sent down water from the sky and given you drink from it. And you are not its retainers.

— Saheeh International

We send the winds to fertilize, and We bring down water from the sky for you to drink- you do not control its sources.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

And We send the winds fertilizing (to fill heavily the clouds with water), then cause the water (rain) to descend from the sky, and We give it to you to drink, and it is not you who are the owners of its stores [i.e. to give water to whom you like or to withhold it from whom you like].

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
