17:41
أَفَأَصْفَىٰكُمْ رَبُّكُم بِٱلْبَنِينَ وَٱتَّخَذَ مِنَ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ إِنَٰثًا ۚ إِنَّكُمْ لَتَقُولُونَ قَوْلًا عَظِيمًا
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
Has, then, your Lord honoured you with sons, and taken for Himself females from among the angels? Surely, you say a grievous saying.

[a]Has, then, your Lord honoured you with sons, and taken for Himself females from among the angels? Surely, you say a grievous saying.[1970]
37:151; 43:20; 52:40.
Commentary:
This verse gives an illustration of the mental confusion and lack of intellectual poise of polytheists. For instance, some of them say that angels are God’s daughters and they worship them although they themselves regard daughters to be a source of shame and humiliation.
