In the Quran
وَٱلتِّينِ وَٱلزَّيْتُونِ ١
By the fig and the olive
Notes
In the Quran
This is the only verse in the Quran that names the fig.
In the commentaries
Commentators differ on the oath. Ibn Kathir records Mujahid taking it as the fruit itself, while others, among them Qatadah and Ibn Zayd, understood the fig and the olive as places, Jerusalem among them.
