    And His statement ( سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ) ("Glorified is Allah above what they ascribe"): the Exalted, whose praise is proclaimed, says this as a glorification of Allah and as an exoneration of Him from what these polytheists impute to Him, fabricate concerning Him, and ascribe to Him — namely, that He has daughters and that He has a wife.
