قُلْ إِن كَانَ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ وَلَدٌ فَأَنَا۠ أَوَّلُ ٱلْعَٰبِدِينَ
کیونکہ مَیں خداتعالیٰ سے پیار کرنے والا ہوں‘ اور اس کا فرمانبردار ہوں۔ مگر نہ آسمانی دلیل اس کے حق میں ہے نہ عقلی۔ اس لئے میں مجبوراً بیٹے کے خیال کی تردید کرتا ہوں۔
‘Abid is active participle from ‘Abada which means, he worshipped; and from ‘Abida which means, he was angry; he denied; he was sorrowful for having been remiss; he was disdainful (Lane). The verse thus means: (a) If the Gracious God had a son, I would have been the first to worship him (the son) because, being God’s most obedient and faithful servant, I would not have been remiss in my duty to him (the son). (b) If it could be possible that the Gracious God should have a son, I am most entitled to this position because I have worshipped God most and have served Him most. (c) The Gracious God, certainly, has no son (in meaning 'not') and I am the first to bear witness to this fact, the word ‘Abidin signifying Shahidin, i.e. witnesses. (d) The Gracious God has no son, and I am the first disdainful denier of the assertion that He has one.
2:117; 10:69; 17:112; 18:5; 19:89.
