Translation
And Allah has made for you mates (and companions) of your own nature, and made for you, out of them, sons and daughters and grandchildren, and provided for you sustenance of the best: will they then believe in vain things, and be ungrateful for Allah's favours?-
Tafsir
And God made for you mates from your own selves, thus He created Eve from Adam's rib and [created] all mankind from the seminal fluids of men and women, and made for you, from your mates, children and grandchildren, and He provided you with the good things, of [all] kinds of fruits, seeds and animals. Is it then in falsehood, [in] the idol, that they believe and in the grace of God that they disbelieve?, when they associate others [with God]?
"Among His Blessings and Signs are Mates, Children and Grandchildren
Allah says,
وَاللّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنۡ أَنفُسِكُمۡ أَزۡوَاجًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنۡ أَزۡوَاجِكُم بَنِينَ وَحَفَدَةً
And Allah has made for you mates of your own kind, and has made for you, from your mates, sons and grandsons,
Allah mentions the blessing He has bestowed upon His servant by giving them mates from among themselves, mates of their own kind. If He had given them mates of another kind, there would be no harmony, love and mercy between them. But out of His mercy He has made the Children of Adam male and female, and has made the females wives or mates for the males.
Then Allah mentions that from these wives He creates children and grandchildren, one's children's children.
This was the opinion of Ibn Abbas, `Ikrimah, Al-Hasan, Ad-Dahhak and Ibn Zayd.
Shu`bah said, narrating from Abu Bishr from Sa`id bin Jubayr from Ibn Abbas:
""Children and grandchildren, who are one's children and one's children's children.""
It was also said that this means servants and helpers, or it means sons-in-law or in-laws.
I say:
if we understand
وَحَفَدَةً
(grandsons), to refer back to wives, then it must mean children, children's children, and sons-in-law, because they are the husbands of one's daughter or the children of one's wife.
وَرَزَقَكُم مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ
and has granted you good provisions.
meaning your food and drink.
Then Allah denounces those who associate others in worship with the One Who bestows blessings on them:
أَفَبِالۡبَاطِلِ يُوۡمِنُونَ
Do they then believe in false deities,
meaning idols and rivals to Allah.
وَبِنِعۡمَتِ اللّهِ هُمۡ يَكۡفُرُونَ
and deny the favor of Allah.
meaning, by concealing the blessings that Allah has given them and attributing them to others.
According to a Sahih Hadith, the Prophet said:
إِنَّ اللهَ يَقُولُ لِلۡعَبۡدِ يَوۡمَ الۡقِيَامَةِ مُمۡتَنًّا عَلَيۡهِ
أَلَمۡ أُزَوِّجۡكَ
أَلَمۡ أُكۡرِمۡكَ
أَلَمۡ أُسَخِّرۡ لَكَ الۡخَيۡلَ وَالاِۡبِلَ وَأَذَرۡكَ تَرۡأَسُ وَتَرۡبَع
Allah will say to His servant on the Day of Resurrection, reminding him of His blessings:
""Did I not give you a wife?
Did I not honor you?
Did I not subject horses and camels to your use, and cause you to occupy a position of leadership and honor?"
