۞ وَلَقَدْ كَرَّمْنَا بَنِىٓ ءَادَمَ وَحَمَلْنَـٰهُمْ فِى ٱلْبَرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِ وَرَزَقْنَـٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتِ وَفَضَّلْنَـٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ كَثِيرٍ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا تَفْضِيلًا

Certes, Nous avons honoré les fils d'Adam. Nous les avons transportés sur terre et sur mer, leur avons attribué de bonnes choses comme nourriture, et Nous les avons nettement préférés à plusieurs de Nos créatures.

Sahih International · EN

Tafsir

Nous avons honoré les descendants d’Adam en les dotant d’une raison, en faisant que les anges se prosternent devant leur père et par d’autres privilèges encore. En effet, Nous avons mis à leur disposition des montures et des véhicules qui les transportent sur la terre ferme ainsi que des vaisseaux qui les transportent à la surface de l’eau. Nous leur avons également fait don de bonnes choses comme les nourritures, les bonnes boissons, les relations charnelles licites, etc… Nous les avons en effet, immensément favorisés au détriment de nombre de Nos créatures. Il leur incombe donc d’être reconnaissants pour les bienfaits dont’Allah les comble.

Lire Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abrégé, en anglais))

And indeed We have honored the Children of Adam, and We have carried them on land and sea, and have provided them with At-Tayyibat, and have preferred them above many of those whom We have created with a marked preferment (70) The Honor and noble Nature of Man Allah tells us how He has honored the sons of Adam and made them noble by creating them in the best and most perfect of forms, as He says: لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ فِي أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ (Verily, We created man in the best stature (mould).)(95:4) He walks upright on his two feet and eats with his hand, whilet other living creatures walk on four feet and eat with their mouths, and He has given him hearing, sight and a heart with which to understand all of that, to benefit from it, and distinguish between things to know which are good for him and which are harmful, in both worldly and religious terms. وَحَمَلْنَاهُمْ فِي الْبَرِّ (and We have carried them on land) means, on animals such as cattle, horses and mules, and also on the sea in ships and boats, great and small. وَرَزَقْنَاهُم مِّنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ (and have provided them with At-Tayyibat,) meaning agricultural produce, fruits, meat, and milk with all kinds of delicious and desirable flavors and colors and beautiful appearance, and fine clothes of all kinds of shapes colors and sizes, which they make for themselves or are brought to them by others from other regions and areas. وَفَضَّلْنَاهُمْ عَلَىٰ كَثِيرٍ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقْنَا تَفْضِيلًا (and have preferred them above many of those whom We have created with a marked preferment.) means, over all living beings and other kinds of creation. This Ayah indicates that human are also preferred over the angels.
