Tafseer
'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : (and they say) i.e. the people of mecca: (the beneficent hath taken unto himself a child) angels as daughters. (be he glorified!) allah exonerated himself from having children or partners (nay, but are honoured slaves) rather they are, i.e. the angels, are servants whom allah has honoured with obeying him;
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : and they say, ‘the compassionate one has taken a son’, from the angels. glory be to him! nay, but they are [merely] servants who are honoured, in his presence; for [the very] servitude [of all creatures to him] is inconsistent with [the attribution of any of them as] progeny [of his].
