The Holy Quran 9:30 — Surah At-Tawbah

Arabic text

وَقَالَتِ ٱلْيَهُودُ عُزَيْرٌ ٱبْنُ ٱللَّهِ وَقَالَتِ ٱلنَّصَـٰرَى ٱلْمَسِيحُ ٱبْنُ ٱللَّهِ ۖ ذَٰلِكَ قَوْلُهُم بِأَفْوَٰهِهِمْ ۖ يُضَـٰهِـُٔونَ قَوْلَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن قَبْلُ ۚ قَـٰتَلَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ۚ أَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ

Translation

The Jews say, “Uzayr is the son of Allaah!" and the Christians say, "Maseeh (Isa عليه الصلاة والسلام) is the son of Allaah!" These are mere words from their mouths (that have no substantiation). They (blindly) imitate the statements of those who committed kufr before them. May Allaah destroy them! Where are they wandering astray?

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The claim that Uzayr ﵇ is the son [of Allah]: it is known from the reports that at that time some of the Jews held the belief that Uzayr ﵇ was the son of Allah. However, this was not the belief of the Jews in general, nor was it in later times; indeed, some scholars have written that no Jew holding this belief now remains.
