وأنه تعالى جد ربنا
And He, exalted be the Jadd of our Lord, `Ali bin Abi Talhah reported from Ibn `Abbas that he said concerning Allah's statement,
جد ربنا
the Jadd of our Lord, "This means, His actions, His commands and His power.'' Ad-Dahhak reported from Ibn `Abbas that he said, "Allah's Jadd is His blessings, His power and His favor upon His creation.'' It has been reported from Mujahid and `Ikrimah that they said, "It (Jadd) is the magnificence of our Lord.'' Qatadah said, "Exalted is His magnificence, His greatness and His command.'' As-Suddi said, "Exalted is the command of our Lord.'' It has been reported from Abu Ad-Darda', Mujahid and Ibn Jurayj that they said, "Exalted is His remembrance (Dhikr).'' The Jinns Affirmation that Allah does not have a Wife and Children Allah says,
ما اتخذ صاحبة وﻻ ولدا
He has taken neither a wife nor a son. meaning, far exalted is He above taking a mate and having children. This means that when the Jinns accepted Islam and believed in the Qur'an they professed Allah's magnificence above having taken a spouse and a child (or a son). Then they said,
وأنه كان يقول سفيهنا على الله شططا
