Tafsir of Maryam 19:67

And man says: "When I am dead, shall I then be raised up alive!'' Does not man remember that We created him before, while he was nothing!

وليس أول الخلق بٲهون علي من آخره

وأما أذاه إياي فقوله إن لي ولدا

وأنا اﻻأحد الصمد الذي لم يلد ولم يولد ولم يكن له كفوا أحد

Allah, the Exalted said, "The son of Adam denies Me and he has no right to deny Me. The son of Adam harms Me and he has no right to harm Me.

His harming Me is his statement that I have a son. Yet, I am One Alone, the Self-Sufficient Whom all creatures need. He Who does not beget children, nor was He born and there is none coequal or comparable unto Him.'' Concerning Allah's statement,
