وهذه الآية الدالة على قدرة الخالق سبحانه نظير إخراجه اللبن الخالص من بين الفرث والدم
And this verse, which indicates the power of the Creator, glorified is He, is like His bringing forth pure milk from between filth and blood.
نَظِيرُ — is like. This noun means 'a likeness/counterpart' and opens another 'of' possessive pairing with the action-noun that follows. It serves as the predicate, equating the verse with God's act of bringing forth milk, set directly beside its second term with no separate 'of'.
