سُوْرَةُ يُوْنُسَ
Surah Yunus (10) — Ayah 68
قَالُوا۟ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ وَلَدًا ۗ سُبْحَـٰنَهُۥ ۖ هُوَ ٱلْغَنِىُّ ۖ لَهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ إِنْ عِندَكُم مِّن سُلْطَـٰنٍۭ بِهَـٰذَآ ۚ أَتَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿68﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
They (Jews, Christians and pagans) say: "Allâh has begotten a son (children)." Glory is to Him! He is Rich (Free of all needs). His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. No warrant you have for this. Do you say against Allâh what you know not.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
68. 1. And whoever is not in need of anyone, he does not need offspring, because offspring are for support, and when He is not in need of support, then what need does He have for offspring?
68. 2. When everything in the heavens and the earth belongs to Him, then everything is His possession and slave. Then what need does He have for offspring? Offspring is needed by one who needs some help and support. Moreover, a person also feels the need for offspring who wishes or likes to see an heir to his possessions after him. And the Being of Allah is never-ending, so to attribute offspring to Allah is a great crime, as Allah says (تَكَاد السَّمٰوٰتُ يَــتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنْشَقُّ الْاَرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ الْجِبَالُ هَدًّا 90 ۙ اَنْ دَعَوْا للرَّحْمٰنِ وَلَدًا 91ۚ) 19. Maryam:90) 'At this statement that they say, "the Most Merciful has offspring," the heavens almost rupture, the earth splits apart, and the mountains collapse in devastation.'
