[Machine] The Messenger of Allahﷺ said, "Allah, blessed and exalted be He, says: 'My servant has falsely accused Me and he has no right to do so. He has insulted Me and he has no right to do so. My denial is that he claims that I will resurrect him as I created him. As for his insult against Me, it is his saying that Allah has begotten a son, while I am the Perfect, Who begets not, nor was I begotten, and there is none like unto Me.'"  

ابن حبّان:٨٤٨أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ قُتَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي السَّرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى كَذَّبَنِي عَبْدِي وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ ذَلِكَ وَشَتَمَنِي وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ ذَلِكَ تَكْذِيبِي أَنْ يَقُولَ أَنَّى يُعِيدُنَا كَمَا بَدَأْنَا وَأَمَّا شَتْمُهُ إِيَّايَ أَنْ يَقُولَ اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ وَلَدًا وَإِنِّي الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ أَلِدْ وَلَمْ أُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ»

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah said, 'The son of Adam tells a lie against me though he has no right to do so, and he abuses Me though he has no right to do so. As for his telling a lie against Me, it is that he claims that I cannot recreate him as I created him before; and as for his abusing Me, it is his statement that I have offspring. No! Glorified be Me! I am far from taking a wife or offspring.' "

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah said: 'The son of Adam tells a lie against Me,, though he hasn't the right to do so. He abuses me though he hasn't the right to do so. As for his telling a lie against Me, it is his saying that I will not recreate him as I created him for the first time. In fact, the first creation was not easier for Me than new creation. As for his abusing Me, it is his saying that Allah has begotten children, while I am the One, the Self-Sufficient Master Whom all creatures need, I beget not, nor was I begotten, and there is none like unto Me."

"Allah, the Mighty and Sublinm, says: 'The son of Adam denied Me and he had no right to do so. and the son of Adam reviled Me and he had no right to do so. As for his denying Me, It is his saying that I will not resurrect him as I created him in the beginning, but resurrecting him is not more difficult for Me than creating him in the first place.

ahmad:8610Ḥasan > Ibn Lahīʿah > Abū Yūnus > Abū Hurayrah

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said: "Indeed, Allah said: 'My servant has falsely accused Me, and he had no right to accuse Me, and he insulted Me, and he had no right to insult Me. As for his false accusation of Me, he says: 'He will not cause me to be resurrected as He began me,' and the creation is not more difficult for Me than to recreate him as he was from the beginning, so he has indeed accused Me if he says that. And as for his insult towards Me, he says: 'Allah has taken a son,' while I am Allah, One, As-Samad (the Everlasting Refuge), I did not beget."

[Machine] "And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Allah ﷻ says, 'My servant has denied Me, even though he has no right to do so, and he has insulted Me, even though he has no right to do so. As for his denial of Me, he says: 'He will not resurrect us as He created us in the first place.' As for his insult to Me, he says: 'Allah has taken a son.'
