[An angel] said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, for I created you before, while you were nothing.' "
Tafseer
{ قال } الأمر { كذلك } من خلق غلام منكما { قال ربك هو عليَّ هين } أي: بأن أرد عليك قوة الجماع وأفتق رحم امرأتك للعلوق { وقد خلقتك من قبل ولم تكُ شيئا } قبل خلقك ولإظهار الله هذه القدرة العظيمة ألهمه السؤال ليجاب بما يدل عليها ولما تاقت نفسه إلى سرعة المبشر به .
{He said} the matter {is thus} whoever created a boy from you. {Your Lord said: It is easy for Me} meaning: that I should restore to you the power of intercourse and open your wife’s womb for conception. {And I created you before, and you were nothing} before your creation. And in order to show God this great power, He inspired him to ask in order to be answered with what indicates it, and when his soul yearned for the speed of the one who was given good news.
