Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Say) to them, O Muhammad: (Is there of your partners) your idols ((whom ye ascribe unto Allah) one that produceth Creation) from a sperm drop and imbues it with the spirit (and then reproduceth it) after death, on the Day of Judgement? If they answer you, fine, if not (Say: Allah produceth creation) from a sperm drop, (then reproduceth it) then brings back to life on the Day of Judgement.
