Al-Waqi'ah: (62)

"And you have certainly known the first creation."

(From your creation out of a drop of semen, then from a clot, then from a lump of flesh.) Qatadah said: It is the creation of Adam, peace be upon him, from dust, and none of his descendants denies it.

(Why then do you not remember?)

(Why then do you not reflect that He who is capable of it is more capable and more powerful regarding the second creation?) For it is less difficult in terms of construction, as the materials are present, the components are already distinguished, and the precedents are established. This, according to what they said, is proof of the validity of the analogy. However, it was said: It only points to the analogy of the "priority" (awla), as that is what is present in the verse.

In the narration: "How strange, all the strangeness, is the one who denies the second creation while he witnesses the first creation; and how strange is the one who believes in the second creation yet strives for the abode of delusion."

Talhah recited tadhakkurun (you remember) with the softening (of the ta) and the damma on the kaf.
