12. It is He who shows you the lightning, as a fear (for
travellers) and as a hope (for those who wait for rain). And it is He Who
brings up (or originates) the clouds, heavy (with water).
13. And Ar-Ra'd (thunder) glorifies and praises Him, and so do the angels because of His Awe, He sends the thunderbolts, and therewith He strikes whom He wills, yet they (disbelievers) dispute about Allah. And He is Mighty in strength and Severe in punishment.
12. It is He who shows you the lightning, as a fear (for
travellers) and as a hope (for those who wait for rain). And it is He Who
brings up (or originates) the clouds, heavy (with water): meaning, one fears from the thunder but has hope that some
good will come from the rain.
It has also been explained to mean that the traveler fears from the thunder because of the difficulty it may cause however at the same time, he has hope in the blessings and benefit that the rain will bring.
13. And Ar-Ra'd (thunder) glorifies and praises Him, and so do the angels because of His Awe…: Most of the Mufassireen said that the name of the Angel appointed over the clouds is called ar-Ra’ad (others said ar-Ra'ad refers to the thunder and not the angel). His voice can be heard (when it thunders) when he makes Tasbeeh (i.e. saying Subhaan Allaah).
Ibn ‘Abbaas said whoever hears the thunder should say:
And he also said, “The thunder is a great warning for the people of earth”
Other narrations state that Allaah, the Most High, said, “If my servant Obeyed me I would have given them rain during the night and I would have made the sun to rise during the day and they would never hear the sound of thunder”.
Ibn ‘Abbaas, ad-Dhahaak and Juwaybir stated that the angel of the clouds is ar-Ra’ad, and he alternates the clouds in a manner that he is ordered to. The water in the oceans and the seas are under his control. He glorifies Allaah, the Most High, and when he does so, there is not an angel in the skies except that they raise their voice in doing Tasbeeh. Once they perform the Tasbeeh thereafter it begins to rain.
…and so do the angels because of His Awe…: the angels glorify Allaah, the Glorified and the Exalted, from their fear in him. It is also stated that it means that the angels assist the angel ar-Ra’ad. Allaah, the Most High, has made them to assist each other, all of them fearing him, submissive and obedient to him.
…He sends the thunderbolts, and therewith He strikes whom He wills, yet they (disbelievers) dispute about Allah. And He is Mighty in strength and Severe in punishment. :Meaning, He sends down thunderbolts as a form of punishment and it burns and afflicts whomever He Wills. Muhammad bin ‘Alee al-Baaqir said that it is possible that it afflicts the Muslim and the non-Muslim however those who remember Allaah, the Most High, will not be harmed.
"...And He is Mighty in strength and Severe in punishment.": 'Alee ibn Abee Taalib [May Alllaah be Pleased with him] said it means He is Severe when he Grasps in punishment.
Ibn 'Abbaas [May Alllaah be Pleased with him] said it means He is extremely Powerful.
Hasan al-Basree [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said it means he is sterm in his retribution.
Mujaahid [May Allaah have Mercy on him] said it means He is extremely Powerful.

[ar-Ra’ad 13:12-13]
Imaam al-Hussayn bin Mas’ood al-Baghawee said in his
Tafseer:
It has also been explained to mean that the traveler fears from the thunder because of the difficulty it may cause however at the same time, he has hope in the blessings and benefit that the rain will bring.
13. And Ar-Ra'd (thunder) glorifies and praises Him, and so do the angels because of His Awe…: Most of the Mufassireen said that the name of the Angel appointed over the clouds is called ar-Ra’ad (others said ar-Ra'ad refers to the thunder and not the angel). His voice can be heard (when it thunders) when he makes Tasbeeh (i.e. saying Subhaan Allaah).
Ibn ‘Abbaas said whoever hears the thunder should say:
سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي يُسَبِّح
الرَّعْد بِحَمْدِهِ , وَالْمَلَائِكَة مِنْ خِيفَته وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ
شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
"Glory be to the One Who is Glorified by ar-Ra’ad
(the angel or the thunder itself) and the Angels because of their fear of Him,
and He is Able to do all things.
If one says this when it thunders and something happens to
him then he is free from any expiation (i.e. not blameworthy)."
‘Abdallah bin Zubayr said, “If one hears the sound of
ar-Ra’ad then he should stop talking and say:
سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي يُسَبِّح الرَّعْد
بِحَمْدِهِ , وَالْمَلَائِكَة مِنْ خِيفَته
And he also said, “The thunder is a great warning for the people of earth”
