Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
The Substances from which Mankind and Jinns were createdIbn `Abbas, Mujahid and Qatadah said that Salsal means dry mud. The apparent meaning is similar to the Ayah:خَلَقَ الإِنسَـنَ مِن صَلْصَـلٍ كَالْفَخَّارِ - وَخَلَقَ الْجَآنَّ مِن مَّارِجٍ مِّن نَّارٍ (He created man (Adam) from sounding clay like the potter's clay, And He created the Jinns from a smokeless flame of fire.
