Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(Now ask them (O Muhammad)) ask the people of Mecca, and specifically the Banu Malih: (Hath thy Lord daughters) females (whereas they have sons) males? They said: "yes!" And the Prophet (pbuh) said to them: "do you wish for Allah what you do not wish for yourselves?"
