Tafsir
Then he showed Allah's might by saying: (Thou causest the night to pass into the day) You increase the length of the day over the length of the night, such that the day is longer than the night, (and Thou causest the day to pass into the night) You increase the length of the night over the length of the day, such that the night is longer than the day. (And Thou bringest forth the living from the dead) He says: You bring forth a living creature from a sperm drop, (and Thou bringest forth the dead from the living) and You bring forth a sperm drop from man; it is also said that this verse means: You bring forth the living (a chicken) from the dead (an egg), and You bring forth the dead (a grain) from the living (a spike of grain). (And Thou givest sustenance to whom Thou choosest, without stint) without measure, exerting power or showing off Your blessings; it is also said that this means: You give wealth in abundance to whomever You choose without straitness or inconvenience.
Al-Jalalayn Commentary
You make the night to pass to enter into the day and You make the day to pass to enter into the night each of them increasing by the amount by which the other decreases; You bring forth the living from the dead such as humans and birds from sperm-drops and eggs respectively; and You bring forth the dead the sperm-drop and the egg from the living and You provide with abundant provision whom You will without reckoning’.
