and We made the earth burst forth with springs that flowed forth and the waters the waters of the heaven and the earth met for a purpose a circumstance that was preordained a matter which had been decreed since pre-eternity namely their destruction by drowning.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(And caused the earth to gush forth springs) for 40 days, (so that the waters) of the heaven and the earth (met for a predestined purpose) met for a measure that We have appointed: the rain of heaven and the water of springs; it is also said that this means: the waters met for a decreed purpose to destroy the folk of Noah.
