Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi
Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
There were also some sects in Arabia who worshipped jinn and evil devils, and in times of distress, they would call upon their names and believed in their influence over the universe. All of these are refuted in this verse, that without understanding, they made the jinn partners of Allah and fabricated sons and daughters for Him. Thus, the polytheists of Arabia used to call the angels the daughters of Allah Almighty. It is said that Allah Almighty is pure from these fabricated statements. Some of the Salaf said that this verse was revealed about those heretics and Magians who considered Allah Almighty to be the Creator of humans, animals, and every good thing and called Him "Yazdan," and considered Satan (Iblis) to be the creator of beasts, snakes, and every kind of evil and called him "Ahriman," and made both of them partners with Allah in the creation of the universe, even though the Creator of them and everything is Allah Almighty alone. Therefore, the people of knowledge have declared the Magians to be Zanadiqah (utterly irreligious). Imam Razi writes that among the aforementioned explanations of the verse under discussion, this is the best explanation.

The Belief of Allah Having Offspring:
Despite all these signs of Allah and knowing that no being besides Allah is a partner in their creation, these polytheists, merely based on their own conjecture and imagination, decided that how could Allah alone manage the entire system of such a vast universe? It is necessary that in this whole system, and in the making and breaking of human destinies, several other hidden beings must also be partners. There is a god of rain, one of vegetation, one who fills fruits with juice, a goddess of wealth, one of health, and one of disease and illnesses, and so on. Such absurd ideas are found among all the polytheistic nations of the world. Generally, this has been the practice of all star-worshipping nations, who make idols of the spirits of these stars and their imaginary forms. The Quran has mentioned these spirits sometimes as jinn and sometimes as devils. Then these people, by continuing the lineage of these gods and goddesses, compiled an entire mythology. In the Indian, Egyptian, Greek, and Babylonian civilizations, the belief in the worship of such hidden spirits has generally been found. Among these gods and goddesses, some were even declared to be sons and daughters of Allah. The Arabs also considered angels to be the daughters of Allah. Allah gave this answer: the jinn are Allah’s creation, and whoever is created can be a servant and slave, but cannot be a partner. And when Allah has no wife, and He has no need of her, then how can He have sons and daughters?
