Commentary

'And when He mentioned the destruction in that manner indicating the complete power over resurrection and what is promised after resurrection, He followed it with the indication of the beginning of creation, which is more indicative. He said, confirming and denying those who oppose His knowledge by their actions: 'Did We not create you?' That is, O you who deny what We have of greatness that no greatness can compare to it, 'from a weak water,' meaning a despised drop, which is [from -] مَهَنَ with a fathah. It is said in the dictionary: and مَهِين is the insignificant, weak, and little.
