Zaydi tafsir on the creation of man

Can you please provide a tafsir of the following ayat:

“And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels: ‘I am going to create a human (Adam) from sounding clay of altered black smooth mud.  So when I have fashioned him and breathed into him (his) soul created by Me, then you fall down prostrate to him.” (Surat al-Sad 38:71-72)

“Verily, in the sight of God, the nature of Jesus is as the nature of Adam, whom He created out of dust and then said unto him, "Be" - and he is” (Surat al-Imran 3:59)

“We made out of water every living thing?” (Surat al-Anbya 21:30)

Could you please clarify whether Allah literally created Adam out of clay. If so, was it just clay that Allah used or was it a combination of other things because other ayat say we were created from water and dust, which seems contradictory. Also, when the ayah says Allah "fashioned" and "breathed" into Adam, what does this mean and is this literal?

Please let me know the commentators which you are referring to as well.

Barakallahu feek!

When the Quran talks about Adam being created with clay, does this literally mean that Allah fashioned Adam with clay, the same way a potter makes a statue? When discussing this verse with some people, I have obtained the impression that Allah created Adam the same way a potter would create a statue, and then Allah breathed into the clay statue body which in turn created Adam's soul and turned the statue into a human being.

Also, what is the difference between the word turabin تُرَابٍ which is used in 3:59 and the word tinin طِينٍ which is used in 38:71? Some translators have translated turabin to “dust”, while others have chosen words such as “earth” and “soil” - which one is correct?

Is it possible that when the Quran mentions tinin طِينٍ or clay, it is referring to a combination of water and turabin? I say this because clay contains variable amounts of water.
