* تفسير Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs

{ أَفَأَصْفَاكُمْ رَبُّكُم بِٱلْبَنِينَ وَٱتَّخَذَ مِنَ ٱلْمَلاۤئِكَةِ إِنَاثاً إِنَّكُمْ لَتَقُولُونَ قَوْلاً عَظِيماً }

(Hath your Lord then distinguished you) chosen you ((O men of Mecca) by giving you sons, and hath chosen for Himself females from among the angels) as daughters? (Lo! verily you speak) about Allah (an awful word!) which deserves a severe punishment; it is also said that this means: you speak an awful word as a lie about Allah.
