Verse 6All human beings, though diverse in creation, dispositions, faculties, and tastes trace back to one common origin, namely Adam.
The clause: “then made from him his wife” actually indicates that God created Adam; then, He created his wife from the remainder of his clay; as a consequence of which the creation of Adam precedes that of Eve and his offspring.
“Then” (thumma) does not connote temporal posteriority at all times, but at times it is employed to demonstrate delay in expressing something; an instance of which is “We noticed your work today; then we saw the work you did yesterday;” yet, what was carried out yesterday certainly precedes that of today.
It is also worthy of note that the creation of Adam’s wife was not done out of Adam’s body, but from the remainder of his clay, as clearly specified in Islamic traditions. Nonetheless, according to a tradition, Eve was created out of Adam’s lowest left rib which is groundless.
The tradition derives from Jewish and Christian traditions (Isra’iliyyat) and is consistent with the second chapter of the Book of Genesis, namely the available distorted Torah.
Verse 9The blessed Verse makes mention of three groups of people: those who know, those who do not know, and men of understanding.
A tradition narrated from Imam Sadiq (as) includes an interpretation concerning the three groups mentioned herein:
“We are those who know, our enemies are those who do not know, and our followers are men of understanding.”
