The Koran (Al-Qur'an) PUBLIC SERVICES, / AND EMINENT LITERARY ATTAINMENTS, / THE TRANSLATOR. / PREFACE; lines 15481-15633 confidence: medium
God sends provision by measure, sends rain after despair, spreads mercy, creates the heavens and earth and creatures, and can gather them when he wills; mishaps are tied to human deeds though God forgives much.
Rain is sent after people have despaired of it and is directly associated with God spreading mercy.
