Tafsir Ibn Abbas: Ar-Ra'd, Ayah 3
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى مَدَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَأَنْهَٰرًۭا ۖ وَمِن كُلِّ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ جَعَلَ فِيهَا زَوْجَيْنِ ٱثْنَيْنِ ۖ يُغْشِى ٱلَّيْلَ ٱلنَّهَارَ ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍۢ لِّقَوْمٍۢ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
And it is He who spread the earth and placed therein firmly set mountains and rivers; and from all of the fruits He made therein two mates; He causes the night to cover the day. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.

And He it is Who spread out extended flat the earth and set created therein firm mountains and rivers and of every fruit He has made in it two kinds of every species. He covers He cloaks the night and its darkness with the day. Surely in that which is mentioned are signs indications of His Oneness exalted be He for a people who reflect upon God’s handiwork.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(And He it is who spread out the earth) He spread out the earth on water (and placed therein firm hills) He created in the earth firm mountains as pillars (and flowing streams) and placed therein flowing rivers, (and of all fruits) and of all the different kinds of fruit (He placed therein two spouses) sweet and sour are one pair, the white and the red are another pair. (He covereth the night with the day) and the day with the night, i.e. He brings the day and removes the night and brings the night and removes the day. (Lo! Herein) in the difference of that which I have mentioned (verily are portents) signs (for people who take thought) in order to reflect.
