"قال اللهُ ﷻ شَتَمَني ابْنُ آدَمَ وَمَا يَنْبَغى أنْ يَشْتمَنِى، وَكَذبنِى وَمَا يَنبَغِى لَهُ أن يكذبنِى، أمَّا شَتْمُهُ إِيَّاى فَقَولُهُ: إِنَّ لي وَلَدًا، وأنَا الله الأحَدُ الصمَدُ، لَمْ ألد ولَم أولَد، وَلَم يَكُنْ لِي كفُوًا أحَدُ، وَأمَّا تكْذِيبُهُ إِياى فَقَوْلُهُ: لَيسَ يُعِيدُنِى كَمَا بَدَأنِى ولَيسَ أوَّلُ الخَلقِ بِأهْوَنَ عَلَى مِن إِعَادَتِهِ".

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah the Most Superior said, "The son of Adam slights Me, and he should not slight Me, and he disbelieves in Me, and he ought not to do so. As for his slighting Me, it is that he says that I have a son; and his disbelief in Me is his statement that I shall not recreate him as I have created (him) before."  

البخاري:٣١٩٣حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي أَحْمَدَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ قَالَ

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أُرَاهُ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ شَتَمَنِي ابْنُ آدَمَ وَمَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يَشْتِمَنِي وَتَكَذَّبَنِي وَمَا يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَمَّا شَتْمُهُ فَقَوْلُهُ إِنَّ لِي وَلَدًا وَأَمَّا تَكْذِيبُهُ فَقَوْلُهُ لَيْسَ يُعِيدُنِي كَمَا بَدَأَنِي  

bukhari:4974Abū al-Yamān > Shuʿayb > Abū al-Zinād > al-Aʿraj > Abū Hurayrah

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."

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.

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah, may He be exalted, says: 'The son of Adam insults Me, and he has no right to do so. He denies Me, and he has no right to deny Me. As for his insulting Me, it is his saying: 'Allah has offspring.' But his denial of Me is his saying: 'Allah will not resurrect me as He created me.'"

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."

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.'

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, Allah has accused me of falsehood, while it is not appropriate for him to accuse me of falsehood. He has also insulted me, while it is not appropriate for him to do so. As for his accusation of falsehood against me, he claims that I am incapable of resurrecting him as he was. And as for his insult against me, he says that I have taken a wife or a child.
