Ibn Abbas Commentary

Provision (made) for men) food for people, i.e. the grains; (and therewith) i.e. through water (We quicken a dead land) a land with no vegetation. (Even so will be the resurrection of the dead) this is how they will be brought back to life and raised forth from the graves through water on the Day of Judgement.

as provision for Our servants rizqan li’l-‘ibādi is a direct object denoting reason; and with it We revive a dead land baldatan may be followed equally by the masculine maytan or the feminine adjective maytatan. So like that manner of reviving shall be the rising from the graves so how can you deny it? the interrogative is meant as an affirmative; the meaning then is that they have indeed observed all of these things and are aware of what has been mentioned yet they disbelieve.
