surah Assaaffat aya 11 , English translation of the meaning Ayah.
﴿فَاسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَا ۚ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاهُم مِّن طِينٍ لَّازِبٍ﴾
[ الصافات: 11]
37:11 Then inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Are they a stronger [or more difficult] creation or those [others] We have created?" Indeed, We created men from sticky clay.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishO Muhammad! So ask the disbelievers who reject the resurrection: “Are you harder to create, and greater in form than other things that Allah has created from the heavens, the earth and the angels?” Indeed, Allah created them from sticky clay, so how could they deny the resurrection when they were created from such a weak substance?
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
Then ask them (i.e. these polytheists, O Muhammad SAW): "Are they stronger as creation, or those (others like the heavens and the earth and the mountains, etc.) whom We have created?" Verily, We created them of a sticky clay.

فاستفتهم أهم أشد خلقا أم من خلقنا إنا خلقناهم من طين لازب
سورة: الصافات - آية: ( 11 ) - جزء: ( 23 ) - صفحة: ( 446 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
Therefore, ask them O Muhammad: Are they the more difficult to bring into being or the others of Our inanimate created beings We created them -mankind- from coherent clay
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(37:11) So ask them (that is, human beings): 'Were they harder to create than the objects We created?' *8 We created them from sticky clay. *9
Then inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Are they a stronger [or more meaning
*8) This is an answer to the suspicions of the disbelievers of Makkah, which they presented about the Hereafter. They thought that the Hereafter was not possible, for it is impossible that the dead men should be recreated. In answer to it, Allah presents arguments for the possibility of the Hereafter and asks: "If you think that the recreation of the dead men is a very difficult task which We do not have the power to accomplish, do you think it is easy to create the earth and the heavens and the countless things that they contain? Why don't you use your common sense ? Do you think that God for Whom it was not at all difficult to create this great Universe and Who has created you in the first instance, will not have the power to create you once again ?"
*9) That is, "Man is not a difficult thing to make. He has been created from clay, and can again be created from the same clay." "Created man of sticky clay" means that the first man was created directly from the clay and then his race was perpetuated by means of the sperm-drop. It also means that every man has been 'created from the sticky clay, for the whole substance of man's body is obtained from the earth. The sperm-drop of which he is created, is a product of the food, and all the substances which make up his physical being, from the time he is conceived till his death, are also supplied by the food. The source of the food, whether animal flesh or vegetable, is ultimately the same earth which, in combination with water produces corn and vegetables and fruit to become food for man, and nourish the animals, which supply milk and flesh for the use of man. Thus, the basis of the argument is: Man could not be living today if the earth and clay had not become the source of life for him. And if it is possible today to create life in it, as your own existence is a clear and definite pointer to this possibility, why should it be impossible to bring about your re-creation from the same earth tomorrow ?
Then inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Are they a stronger [or more meaning in Urdu
اب اِن سے پوچھو، اِن کی پیدائش زیادہ مشکل ہے یا اُن چیزوں کی جو ہم نے پیدا کر رکھی ہیں؟ اِن کو تو ہم نے لیس دار گارے سے پیدا کیا ہے
