Surah As Saffat Tafseer

وَجَعَلُوا بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا

And they have invented a kinship between Him and the Jinn,

Mujahid said,

"The idolators said that the angels were the daughters of Allah.

Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, said, `Then who are their mothers?'

They said, `The daughters of the leaders of the Jinn."'

Qatadah and Ibn Zayd also said this. Allah -- may He be blessed and exalted -- says:

وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ الْجِنَّةُ

but the jinn know,

meaning, those to whom this is attributed

إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ

know well that they have indeed to appear (before Him).

means, that those who say that will be brought forth for punishment on the Day of Reckoning, because of the lies and falsehood that they uttered without knowledge.

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
