The Jinns Affirmation that Allah does not have a Wife and Children

Allah says,

مَا اتَّخَذَ صَاحِبَةً وَلَاا وَلَدًا




He has taken neither a wife nor a son.

meaning, far exalted is He above taking a mate and having children.

This means that when the Jinns accepted Islam and believed in the Qur'an they professed Allah's magnificence above having taken a spouse and a child (or a son).

Then they said,

وَأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ شَطَطًا
