➋ {وَ تُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ …:} Bringing forth the living from the dead, that is, a Muslim from a disbeliever, like Ibrahim (peace be upon him) from Azar; an animal from a drop of fluid; a bird from an egg; and bringing forth the dead from the living, like Canaan from Noah (peace be upon him), and a drop of fluid or an egg from an animal or bird.
➌ In a narration of Tabarani, it is mentioned that the Greatest Name (Ism-e-Azam) is in this verse. In {’’هداية المستنير‘‘}, this narration has been declared fabricated due to a narrator, Muhammad bin Zakariya Ghulabi, and the ruling of {’’ضَعِيْفٌ جِدًّا‘‘} has been quoted from "Al-Da'eefa (2772)".

27. 2. Just as a drop of semen (lifeless) first comes from a living human, then from this lifeless (semen) comes a human; similarly, from a lifeless egg comes a chicken, then from a living chicken comes an egg (lifeless), or from a disbeliever comes a believer and from a believer comes a disbeliever. In some narrations, it is mentioned that Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) complained to the Prophet ﷺ about his debt, so the Prophet ﷺ said: Recite the verse (قُلِ اللّٰهُمَّ مٰلِكَ الْمُلْكِ تُؤْتِي الْمُلْكَ مَنْ تَشَاۗءُ وَتَنْزِعُ الْمُلْكَ مِمَّنْ تَشَاۗءُ ۡ وَتُعِزُّ مَنْ تَشَاۗءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَنْ تَشَاۗءُ ۭبِيَدِكَ الْخَيْرُ ۭ اِنَّكَ عَلٰي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ) 3:26 and make this supplication (رَحْمَان الدُنْیَا وَلْاآخِرَۃِو رحیمھما تعطی من تشاء منھما رتمنع من تشاء ارحمنی رحمۃ تغنینی بھا عن رحمۃ من سواک اللھم اغننی من الفقر واقض عنی الدین). In another narration, it is mentioned that this is such a supplication that even if you have a debt as big as Mount Uhud, Allah Almighty will arrange for its payment for you. (Majma' al-Zawa'id)
