Translation:

"He begets not, nor was He begotten;
Tafsir:

Allah did not begot nor is He begotten, neither has He parent nor a wife. At another place, Allah said:
"He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. How can He have children when He has no wife? He created all things..." Q6:101.

Allah also said:
"And they say: The Most Gracious (Allah) has begotten a son. I deed you have brought forth a terrible evil thing, whereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder and the mountains fall in ruins, that they ascribe a son to the All-Gracious. And it is not suitable for (the Majesty of) the All-Gracious that He beget a son. There is none in the heavens and the earth but comes to the All-Gracious as a slave. Verily, He knows each one of them, and has counted them a full counting. And everyone of them will come to Him alone on the Day of Resurrection." Qur'an 19 : 88-95

At another place, Allah said:

"And they say: The All-Gracious (Allah) has begotten a son.' Glory to Him. They are but honoured slaves. They speak not until He has spoken, and they act on His Command." Q21: 26-27.

Allah said: "And they invented a kinship between Him and the jinn, but the jinn know well that they have indeed to appear (before Him). Glorified is Allah from what they attribute unto Him".
