As-Saaffaat • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٍۢ لَّازِبٍۭ ﴾
“AND NOW ask those [who deny the truth] to enlighten thee: Were they more difficult to create than all those [untold marvels] that We have created? - for, behold, them have We created out of [mere] clay commingled with water!”
(Then ask them (O Muhammad)) ask the people of Mecca: (Are they stronger as a creation) as a resurrected people, (or those (others) whom We have created) of angels and all other people? (Lo! We created them of plastic) sticking (clay) We created them from Adam and Adam is from clay.
