Yâ Sîn
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[36:77]
IS MAN, then, not aware that it is We who create him out of a [mere] drop of sperm – whereupon, lo! he shows himself endowed with the power to think and to argue?

* v.77 : See the similar passage in 16:4, as well as the corresponding note 5. Completing the interpretation advanced in his (and Zamakhsharī’s) commentary on the above-mentioned verse, Rāzī equates here the term khasīm (lit., “contender in argument”) with the highest manifestation of what is described as nātiq (“articulate [or “rational”] being”).
