(Or He mingleth them, males and females) as was the case with the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) (and He maketh barren whom He will) as was the case with the Prophet John the son of Zachariah. (Lo! He is Knower, Powerful) regarding that which He gives of males or females.
Al-Jalalayn Commentary
Or He combines them that is to say or He makes them males and females; and He makes whomever He will infertile such that she is unable to conceive or he cannot have a child. Surely He is Knower of what He creates Powerful in bringing about whatever He will.
