Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(The Originator of the heavens and the earth!) He originated them when they were nothing before. (When He decreeth a thing) when He wants to create a child without a father, like Jesus, (He saith unto it only: Be!) be a child without a father, just like Adam was without a father or mother, (And it is).
