"يُلَقَّى عِيسَى حُجّتَهُ فِى قَوْلِهِ: {وَإِذْ قَالَ اللَّهُ يَاعِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ أَأَنْتَ قُلْتَ لِلنَّاسِ اتَّخِذُونِى وَأُمِّيَ إِلَهَيْنِ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ} فَلَقَّاهُ اللَّه: {سُبْحَانَكَ مَا يَكُونُ لِي أَنْ أَقُولَ مَا لَيْسَ لِي بِحَقٍّ. . .} الآية".

quran:5:116 –

And ˹beware the Day˺ when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen.

And, mention, when God says, that is, when God will say, to Jesus at the Resurrection in rebuke of his followers: ‘O Jesus, son of Mary, did you say to mankind, “Take me and my mother as gods, besides God”?’ He, Jesus, says, shuddering: ‘Glory be to You!, exalted be You above all that does not befit You, such as ˹having˺ a partner and so on. It is not mine, it is unjustified ˹for me˺, to say what I have no right to (bihaqq, ‘right to’, is the predicate of laysa, ‘not’; lī, ‘mine’, is explicative). If I indeed had said it, You would have known it. You know what is, hidden by me, in my self, but I do not know what is within Your Self, that is, what You keep hidden of Your knowledge: You are the Knower of things unseen.

القرآن:٥:١١٦ –

وَإِذْ قَالَ اللَّهُ يَا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ أَأَنْتَ قُلْتَ لِلنَّاسِ اتَّخِذُونِي وَأُمِّيَ إِلَٰهَيْنِ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ ۖ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ مَا يَكُونُ لِي أَنْ أَقُولَ مَا لَيْسَ لِي بِحَقٍّ ۚ إِنْ كُنْتُ قُلْتُهُ فَقَدْ عَلِمْتَهُ ۚ تَعْلَمُ مَا فِي نَفْسِي وَلَا أَعْلَمُ مَا فِي نَفْسِكَ ۚ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ

{و} اذكر {إذ قال} أي يقول {الله} لعيسى في القيامة توبيخا لقومه {يا عيسى ابن مريم أأنت قلت للناس اتخذوني وَأُمِّي إلهين من دون الله قال} عيسى وقد أرعد {سبحانك} تنزيها لك عما لا يليق بك من الشريك وغيره {ما يكون} ما ينبغي {لي أن أقول ما ليس لي بحق} خبر ليس، ولي للتبيين {إن كنت قلته فقد علمته تعلم ما} أخفيه {في نفس ولا أعلم ما في نفسك} أي ما تخفيه من معلوماتك {إنك أنت علام الغيوب}.

"'Eisa was taught his argument, Allah taught him regarding His saying: And when Allah will say: 'O 'Eisa, son of Mariam! Did you say unto men 'Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah?'" Abu Hurairah narrated from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: "So Allah taught him: 'Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right (to say) (5:116).' The entire Ayah.
