the two seas are not alike. the one is sweet thirstquenching and pleasant to drink from while the other is salty and bitter. yet from each you eat fresh fish and extract ornaments to wear and in each you see the ships ploughing through the waves so that you may seek his bounty and so that you may feel thankful.
وما يستوي البحران هذا عذب فرات سائغ شرابه وهذا ملح أجاج ومن كل تأكلون لحما طريا وتستخرجون حلية تلبسونها وترى الفلك فيه مواخر لتبتغوا من فضله ولعلكم تشكرون
