The Quranic text and Ali’s version

ثُمَّ سَوَّاهُ وَنَفَخَ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِهِ...

32: 9. But He fashioned him in due proportion, and breathed into him something of His spirit.

C3639. The third stage is indicated by "fashioned him in due proportion". Cf. 15:29.

After fertilization of ovum by the sperm, an individual life comes into existence, and it is gradually fashioned into shape, its limbs are formed; its animal life begins to function; all the beautiful adaptations come into play.

The fourth stage here mentioned is that of distinctive Man, into whom Allah's spirit is breathed. Then he rises higher than animals.

وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ السَّمْعَ وَالْأَبْصَارَ وَالْأَفْئِدَةَ...

And He gave you (the faculties of) hearing and sight and feeling (and understanding):

C3640. As a complete man he gets the higher faculties.

The five animal senses I understand to be included in the third stage. But in the fourth stage he rises higher, and is addressed in the second person, "you," instead of the third person "him".

He has now the spiritual counterpart of hearing (i.e., the capacity of hearing Allah's Message) and seeing (i.e., the inner vision), and feeling the nobler heights of love and understanding the bearings of the inner life (both typified by the Heart). Yet with all these gifts, what thanks does unregenerate or corrupted man give to Allah?

... قَلِيلًا مَّا تَشْكُرُونَ ﴿٩﴾

little thanks do ye give!

Asad’s Version:

(32:6) Such is He who knows all that is beyond the reach of a created being's perception, as well as all that can be witnessed by a creature's senses or mind: 5 the Almighty, the Dispenser of Grace,

(32:7)[Assad] who makes most excellent everything that He creates. 6 Thus, He begins the creation of man out of clay; 7

(32:8) then He causes him to be begotten 8 out of the essence of a humble fluid;

(32:9) and then He forms him in accordance with what he is meant to be, and breathes into him of His spirit:' and [thus, O men,] He endows you with hearing, and sight, and feelings as well as minds: 10 [yet] how seldom are you grateful!
