9. This means, Oh people of Arabia! If Allah Almighty had not created camels, mules. etc. as a means of transport, you would have found great difficulty in reaching distant cities.

and would not have been able to transport your trading goods. This has now been made easy for you, for which you should express gratitude. 

10. These camels, horses, mules, etc. are consuming the sustenance provided by Allah Almighty, but are rendering service to you. This is indeed due to the mercy of Allah Almighty that He has inspired awe in their hearts for you, and inculcated in them love for you. Had it not been for these wild animals, it would not have been easy for you to control.
