Tafsir as-Sa'di on Quran 38:72
Taysir al-Karim al-Rahman by Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di (d. 1956), in the original Arabic.
{ فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُ } أي: سويت جسمه وتم، { وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِنْ رُوحِي فَقَعُوا لَهُ سَاجِدِينَ } فوطَّن الملائكة الكرام أنفسهم على ذلك، حين يتم خلقه ونفخ الروح فيه، امتثالا لربهم، وإكراما لآدم عليه السلام، فلما تم خلقه في بدنه وروحه، وامتحن اللّه آدم والملائكة في العلم، وظهر فضله عليهم، أمرهم اللّه بالسجود.
