Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Among the Signs of AllahAllah says:وَمِنْ ءَايَـتِهِ(And among His signs) -- which speak of His might and power, is the fact that He created your father Adam out of dust.ثُمَّ إِذَآ أَنتُمْ بَشَرٌ تَنتَشِرُونَ(and then -- behold you are human beings scattered!) So man's origins lie in dust, then in a despised liquid, then he is formed and becomes a clot, then a lump of flesh, then bones in the form of a human being. Then Allah clothes the bones with flesh.
