Commentary
He meant: So He divided humanity into two categories: those with lineage, meaning males who are attributed to them, as it is said: So-and-so son of So-and-so and So-and-so daughter of So-and-so, and those related by marriage, meaning females with whom one has marital ties. This is similar to His saying, 'And He made from it the two spouses, the male and the female.' And your Lord was All-Powerful when He created from a single drop of sperm two types of humans: male and female.
