وَإِذْ
قَالَ
اللَّهُ
يَاعِيسَى
ابْنَ
مَرْيَمَ
أَأَنتَ
قُلْتَ
لِلنَّاسِ
اتَّخِذُونِي
وَأُمِّيَ
إِلَهَيْنِ
مِن
دُونِ
اللَّهِ
قَالَ
سُبْحَانَكَ
مَا
يَكُونُ
لِي
أَنْ
أَقُولَ
مَا
لَيْسَ
لِي
بِحَقٍّ
إِن
كُنتُ
قُلْتُهُ
فَقَدْ
عَلِمْتَهُ
تَعْلَمُ
مَا
فِي
نَفْسِي
وَلَا
أَعْلَمُ
مَا
فِي
نَفْسِكَ
إِنَّكَ
أَنتَ
عَلَّامُ
الْغُيُوبِ

And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah'?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden.
— Abdullah Yusufali
And when Allah will say, ‘O Jesus son of Mary! Was it you who said to the people, ‘‘Take me and my mother for gods besides Allah’’?’ He will say, ‘Immaculate are You! It does not behoove me to say what I have no right to [say]. Had I said it, You would certainly have known it: You know whatever is in my self, and I do not know what is in Your Self. Indeed, You are knower of all that is Unseen.
