ثُمَّ جَعَلَ نَسْلَهُۥ مِن سُلَٰلَةٍۢ مِّن مَّآءٍۢ مَّهِينٍۢ
Then He made his posterity out of the extract of a liquid disdained.

Tafsir
Ibn Kathīr (abridged)
The Creation of Man in Stages
Allah tells us that He has created everything well and formed everything in a goodly fashion. Malik said, narrating from Zayd bin Aslam:
الَّذِى أَحْسَنَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُ
(Who made everything He has created good) means, "He created everything well and in a goodly fashion." When Allah mentions the creation of the heavens and the earth, He follows that by mentioning the creation of man. Allah says:
وَبَدَأَ خَلْقَ الإِنْسَـنِ مِن طِينٍ
(and He began the creation of man from clay.) meaning, He created the father of mankind, Adam, from clay.
