وَإِذْ

كُنتُ
قُلْتُهُ
فَقَدْ
عَلِمْتَهُ
تَعْلَمُ
مَا
فِي
نَفْسِي
وَلَا
أَعْلَمُ
مَا

When God asked Jesus, son of Mary "Did you tell men to consider you and your mother as their gods besides God?" he replied, "Glory be to you! How could I say what I have no right to say? Had I ever said it, You would have certainly known about it. You know what is in my soul, but I do not know what is in Yours. It is You who has absolute knowledge of the unseen.
