And they said, and it is read without the conjunction, meaning those who said, 'The Messiah is the son of Allah,' and 'Uzayr is the son of Allah,' and 'the angels are the daughters of Allah.' Glorified and exalted is He, distancing Himself from that. Rather, to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth; He is their Creator and Owner. Among them are the angels, Uzayr, and the Messiah; all are submissive to Him, obedient. Nothing is prevented from His creation, decree, and will. Whoever has this attribute does not resemble, and it is a right of the child to be of the same kind as the parent. The nunation in 'all' is a substitute for the added noun, meaning all that is in the heavens and the earth. It is permissible that it refers to all whom they have made as children of Allah; they are submissive, obedient, worshipful, and acknowledge His lordship, denying what they have attributed to them. If you say: How did 'what' come for those who are not of the people of knowledge with His saying 'submissive'? I say: It is like His saying, 'Glory be to what has subjected them to us.' It is as if 'what' came instead of 'who' to belittle them and diminish their status, as in His saying, 'And they made between Him and the jinn a lineage.'
