Your Lord is He Who drives for you the ships upon the sea that you may seek of His bounty exalted be He through engaging in commerce. Truly He is ever Merciful towards you by disposing these ships for you.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
((O mankind), your Lord is He Who driveth for you the ship upon the sea that you may seek of His bounty) so that you seek of His provision; and it is also said this means: so that you seek of his knowledge. (Lo! He was ever Merciful towards you) by deferring your punishment; it is also said that this means: He is ever merciful towards whoever repents amongst you.
