Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
What was said to Her after the BirthSome reciters read the Ayah as,مَنْ تَحْتِهَا(Who was below her) Meaning the one who was below her called to her. Others recited it as,مِن تَحْتِهَآ(from below her) With the meaning of a preposition (from) instead of a pronoun (who). The scholars of Tafsir have differed over the interpretation of who was calling out.
