Does not man then remember yadhdhakaru is actually yatadhakkaru but the tā’ has been changed to a dhāl and assimilated with the other dhāl; a variant reading leaves it as yadhkuru that We created him before when he was nothing? and thus infer from the first act of creation the possibility of resurrection.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Doth not man remember) does not Ubayy Ibn Khalaf take admonition (that We created him before) this from a stinking sperm drop, (when he was naught?) Likewise, I am able to bring him back to life again.
