وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ عُزَيْرٌۨ ابْنُ اللّٰهِ وَقَالَتِ النَّصَارَى الْمَس۪يحُ ابْنُ اللّٰهِۜ ذٰلِكَ قَوْلُهُمْ بِاَفْوَاهِهِمْۚ يُضَاهِؤُ۫نَ قَوْلَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ قَبْلُۜ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللّٰهُۘ اَنّٰى يُؤْفَكُونَ

Waqalati alyahoodu AAuzayrun ibnu Allahiwaqalati annasara almaseehuibnu Allahi thalika qawluhum bi-afwahihim yudahi-oonaqawla allatheena kafaroo min qablu qatalahumu Allahuanna yu/fakoon

And the Rabbinic Jews say: “ʿUzayr is the son of God”; and the Christians say: “The Messiah is the son of God.” That is the speech of their mouths; they imitate the speech of those who ignored warning before. May God curse them! How are they deluded?
