Arabic text

وَٱلْحَبُّ ذُو ٱلْعَصْفِ وَٱلرَّيْحَانُ

Translation

seeds as chaff (fodder for animals) and sustenance (food for people and fragrant flowers) as well.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

And some things grow from the earth that are of no use as food, yet benefit is derived from their fragrance and so on.
