And indeed, We created man from dried (sounding) clay of altered mud.

Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
And We created man from dried clay, a product of dark modelling clay that has been polished
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(15:26) We created Man from dried clay of rotten earth: *17
And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered meaning
*17) The Arabic word "salsal" means the dried clay which produces a sound like pottery."
"Hams " is "the black mud which has become so rotten as to be in a fermented state."
"Masnun" has a double meaning: (a) "rotten clay which has become greasy" (b) clay which has been moulded into a shape." It is clear from the wording of the text that at first the image of man was made of clay from rotten earth and when it dried up, soul was breathed into it. Thus the Qur'an positively refutes the Darwinian theory of Evolution that man came into existence after passing through continuous genetic adaptations. It will, therefore, be a futile attempt, as some modernised commentators have done, to prove that theory from the Qur'an.
