Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(He it is Who created you from dust) He created you from Adam and Adam is from dust, (then from a drop (of seed)) then He created you from the sperm drops of your fathers (then from a clot) then from a clot of blood, (then brings you forth) from your mothers' wombs (as a child) as a young child, (then (ordaineth) that ye attain full strength) 18 to 30 years old (and afterward that ye become old men) after having attained your full strength (though some among you die before) before the age of puberty or before reaching old age (and that ye reach an appointed term) the end of your lifespan, (that haply ye may understand) that haply you may believe in resurrection after death.
