Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(And they say unto their skins) to their limbs; and it is also said: to their sexual organs: (Why testify ye against us) when we were trying to argue in your favour? (They say: Allah hath given us speech) Allah has made us speak (Who giveth speech to all things) to all created beings today, (and Who created you) and Who made you speak (at the first) in the first instance, (and unto Whom ye are returned) after death.
