Arabic Text

‏ ‏وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ ‏صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ‏ ‏قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏ ‏كَذَّبَنِي عَبْدِي وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ ذَلِكَ وَشَتَمَنِي وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ ذَلِكَ تَكْذِيبُهُ إِيَّايَ أَنْ يَقُولَ فَلَنْ يُعِيدَنَا كَمَا بَدَأَنَا وَأَمَّا شَتْمُهُ إِيَّايَ يَقُولُ اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ وَلَدًا وَأَنَا الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ أَلِدْ وَلَمْ أُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِي ‏ ‏كُفُوًا ‏ ‏أَحَدٌ ‏

English Translation

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: My servant has disbelieved in Me, and he had no right to do so. And My servant has insulted Me, and he had no right to do so. As for his disbelieving in Me, it is his saying: He will not resurrect me as He created me the first time — and the initial creation is no easier for Me than bringing him back. As for his insulting Me, it is his saying: Allah has taken a son — and I am the One, the Self-Sufficient, Who begets not nor was begotten, and there is none comparable to Me.'
