Allah says,
[مَا اتَّخَذَ
صَـحِبَةً وَلاَ وَلَداً]
(He has taken neither a wife nor a son.) meaning, far exalted is He above
taking a mate and having children. This means that when the Jinns accepted Islam
and believed in the Qur'an they professed Allah's magnificence above having
taken a spouse and a child (or a son). Then they said,
[وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ
يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ شَطَطاً ]
(And that the foolish among us used to utter against Allah that which was an
enormity in falsehood.) Mujahid, `Ikrimah, Qatadah and As-Suddi, all said,
[سَفِيهُنَا]
(the foolish among us) "They were referring to Iblis.''
[شَطَطًا]
(that which was an enormity in falsehood.) As-Suddi reported from Abu Malik
that he said, "This means a transgression.'' Ibn Zayd said, "A great
injustice.'' The foolish (Safih) also carries the meaning of everyone in the
category who claims that Allah has a spouse or a son. This is why Allah says
here,
[وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ
يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا]
(And that the foolish among us used to utter) meaning, nd He, eeA ? The Jinns
Affirmation that Allah does not have a Wife and Children Allah says,
[مَا اتَّخَذَ
صَـحِبَةً وَلاَ وَلَداً]
(He has taken neither a wife nor a son.) meaning, far exalted is He above
taking a mate and having children. This means that when the Jinns accepted Islam
and believed in the Qur'an they professed Allah's magnificence above having
taken a spouse and a child (or a son). Then they said,
[وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ
يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ شَطَطاً ]
(And that the foolish among us used to utter against Allah that which was an

here,
[وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ
يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا]
(And that the foolish among us used to utter) meaning, before his acceptance
of Islam.
[عَلَى اللَّهِ
شَطَطاً]
(against Allah that which was an enormity in falsehood.) meaning, falsehood
and a lie. Thus, Allah says,
[وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّآ
أَن لَّن تَقُولَ الإِنسُ وَالْجِنُّ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِباً ]
(And verily, we thought that men and Jinn would not utter a lie against
Allah.) meaning, `we did not think that humans and Jinns would join each other
in lying about Allah by attributing a spouse and a son to Him. So when we heard
this Qur'an we believed in it and we knew that they (Jinns and men) had been
lying about Allah in this matter.'
