The Holy Quran 43:81 — Surah Az-Zukhruf

Arabic text

قُلْ إِن كَانَ لِلرَّحْمَـٰنِ وَلَدٌ فَأَنَا۠ أَوَّلُ ٱلْعَـٰبِدِينَ

Translation

Say (O Rasulullaah ﷺ!), "If Rahmaan had a son, then I would have been the first to worship (His children)." (However, because I am convinced that He has no children, I worship Allaah Alone.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Had Allah offspring, I would be the first to worship: that is, what greater wrong could there be than ascribing sons and daughters to Allah? Say: if, supposing the impossible, Allah had offspring, I would be the first person to worship His offspring, because I worship Allah more than anyone in the world.
