Maryam 19:88

<h2>The Stern Rejection of attributing a Son to Allah</h2><p>After Allah affirms in this noble Surah that `Isa was a worshipper and servant of Allah and He mentioned his birth from Maryam without a father, He then begins refuting those who claim that He has a son. Holy is He and far Exalted is He above such description. Allah says,</p><p>وَقَالُواْ اتَّخَذَ الرَّحْمَـنُ وَلَداً لَقَدْ جِئْتُمْ</p><p>(And they say: "The Most Gracious has begotten a son." Indeed you have brought forth) This means, "In this statement of yours."</p><p>شَيْئاً إِدّاً</p><p>(a thing Idda.) Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid, Qatadah and Malik all said, "Terrible."

The reason for this is that these are creatures of …

And they say: The Beneficent hath taken unto Himself a son.

They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!"

And they say: "The Most Beneficent (Allah) has begotten a son (or offspring or children) [as the Jews say: 'Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah, and the Christians say that He has begotten a son ['Iesa (Christ)], and the pagan Arabs say that He has begotten daughters (angels, etc.)]."

And they say, “The Most Merciful has begotten a son.”
