• 6:99 · Al-An'amوَٱلزَّيْتُونَ and the olivesAnd it is He who sends down rain from the sky, and We produce thereby the growth of all things. We produce from it greenery from which We produce grains arranged in layers. And from the palm trees - of its emerging fruit are clusters hanging low. And [We produce] gardens of grapevines and olives and pomegranates, similar yet varied. Look at [each of] its fruit when it yields and [at] its ripening. Indeed in that are signs for a people who believe.
• 6:141 · Al-An'amوَٱلزَّيْتُونَ and the olivesAnd He it is who causes gardens to grow, [both] trellised and untrellised, and palm trees and crops of different [kinds of] food and olives and pomegranates, similar and dissimilar. Eat of [each of] its fruit when it yields and give its due [zakah] on the day of its harvest. And be not excessive. Indeed, He does not like those who commit excess.

How we count

Each Qur’an word built on the words above counts once, in any form (singular, dual or plural, with or without prefixes such as wa- or al-). Counts published elsewhere often differ because they count different forms or phrases.
