71أَوَلَم يَرَوا أَنّا خَلَقنا لَهُم مِمّا عَمِلَت أَيدينا أَنعامًا فَهُم لَها مالِكونَMuhammad AsadAre they, then, not aware that it is for them that We have created, among all the things which Our hands have wrought,1 the domestic animals of which they are [now] masters? -I.e., "which We alone have or could have created" (Zamakhshari and Razi). The above metaphorical expression is based on the concept of "handiwork" in its widest sense, abstract as well as concrete.
