7:58

وَٱلْبَلَدُ ٱلطَّيِّبُ يَخْرُجُ نَبَاتُهُۥ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِۦ وَٱلَّذِى خَبُثَ لَا يَخْرُجُ إِلَّا نَكِدًا كَذَٰلِكَ نُصَرِّفُ ٱلْـَٔايَٰتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَشْكُرُونَ

Why this meaning was chosen

The sole target is an indefinite accusative manner complement after an exceptive restriction. The wholesome land's vegetation emerges freely by God's permission, whereas the bad land produces only in this deficient manner, fixing scarcity and poor yield.
