2707. It was narrated that Busr bin Jahhāsh Al-Qurashi that the Prophet ﷺ spat in his palm then pointed to it with his index finger and said: "Allāh says: 'Do you think you can escape from My punishment, O son of Âdam, when I have created you from something like this? When your soul reaches here' — and (the Prophet ﷺ) pointed to his throat — 'You say: I give charity.' But it is too late for charity?" (Sahih)

Commentary
a. Allāh is the Creator of man, and has all authority and control over His creation. Man, in all his needs and requirements stands in need of Allāh and cannot do anything without His guidance.
b. This is Allāh's mercy and favor, that He created man from a clot (a petty thing) and made him most eminent of all creation.
