Commentary on 76:2
( إنا خلقنا الإنسان ) يعني ولد آدم ( من نطفة ) يعني : مني الرجل ومني المرأة . ( أمشاج ) أخلاط ، واحدها : مشج ومشيج ، مثل خدن وخدين .
قال ابن عباس ، والحسن ، ومجاهد والربيع : يعني ماء الرجل [ وماء المرأة ] يختلطان في الرحم فيكون منهما الولد . فماء الرجل أبيض غليظ ، وماء المرأة أصفر رقيق ، فأيهما علا صاحبه كان الشبه له ، وما كان من عصب وعظم فهو من نطفة الرجل ، وما كان من لحم ودم وشعر فمن ماء المرأة .
وقال الضحاك : أراد بالأمشاج اختلاف ألوان النطفة ، فنطفة الرجل بيضاء وحمراء وصفراء ، ونطفة المرأة خضراء وحمراء [ وصفراء ] ، وهي رواية الوالبي عن ابن عباس . وكذلك قال الكلبي : قال : الأمشاج البياض في الحمرة والصفرة . وقال يمان : كل لونين اختلطا فهو أمشاج . وقال ابن مسعود : هي العروق التي تكون في النطفة .
وقال الحسن : نطفة مشجت بدم ، وهو دم الحيضة ، فإذا حبلت ارتفع الحيض .
وقال قتادة : هي أطوار الخلق نطفة ، ثم علقة ، ثم مضغة ، ثم [ عظما ] ثم يكسوه لحما ثم ينشئه خلقا آخر .
( نبتليه ) نختبره بالأمر والنهي ( فجعلناه سميعا بصيرا ) قال بعض أهل العربية : فيه تقديم وتأخير ، مجازه فجعلناه سميعا بصيرا لنبتليه ؛ لأن الابتلاء لا يقع إلا بعد تمام الخلقة .
