Surah Al-Maaida · Ayah 116·Madanī

116

وَإِذْ يَٰعِيسَى مَرْيَمَ ءَأَنتَ مِن مَا لِىٓ أَنْ مَا لِى إِن فَقَدْ مَا فِى وَلَآ مَا فِى إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ﴿١١٦﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen.
