He dispensed liberal gifts and donations. He undertook to lift them where withal of the unworthy persons. This may mean that Allah imparted knowledge to Adam and thereby maintained his superiority over the angels. It may also mean that the Prophet took over the load of sins from the sinners to get them salvation.
The Lord gave golden (i.e. costly) gifts to them i.e. blockheads and thereby made them important. He proclaimed mass distribution of alms (i.e. amnesty). Accordingly the disabled persons (i.e. heinous sinners) also approached Him for it.
What? Would you not praise the Lord who has raised you from nothing? He has already asserted (in the Quran) that ‘He alone elevates and debases whom He wills’ The man inherently is nothing - a mere drop of semen and yet Allah has elevated him.
He shattered completely the stratagems of the contenders (i.e. of the angels against Adam’s appointment as His vicegerent).
All rivals were put to frustration. So far the (Chief) plaintiff or opponent (i.e. Satan) was concerned, Allah neutralized him personally, Abdul Latif says: “O sisters! The Lord likes to do what pleases Him” (or) He likes Himself (and His praise).
TRADITION: Allah very much likes to hear His own praise.
Note: This Vai briefly refers to the early history of the man, that:
a) as a mould of ‘ringing” clay or product of a ‘despicable fluid’, the man was ‘nothing’ - an absolutely insignificant objoct not worthy of any notice;
(b) Allah elevated him and appointed him - His vicegerent on earth;
(c) The angels mildly protested against it, but Allah silenced them because He established the man’s suitability for the high office by imparting knowledge of earthly objects to him;
(d) Satan emphatically repudiated the man - having an inferior origin and he disobeyed the Divine command to prostrate before him; and finally
(e) Allah took swift action against this Chief Opponent. He cursed him for all time and expelled him from Paradise at once.
