Surah At-Tawbah (9:30)

وَقَالَتِ الۡيَهُوۡدُ عُزَيۡرُ ۨابۡنُ اللّٰهِ وَقَالَتِ النَّصٰرَى الۡمَسِيۡحُ ابۡنُ اللّٰهِؕ ذٰ لِكَ قَوۡلُهُمۡ بِاَ فۡوَاهِهِمۡ ۚ يُضَاهِـُٔوۡنَ قَوۡلَ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا مِنۡ قَبۡلُ ؕ قَاتَلَهُمُ اللّٰهُ ۚ  اَنّٰى يُؤۡفَكُوۡنَ‏ ۝

The Jews say, "Ezra is the son of Allāh"; and the Christians say, "The Messiah is the son of Allāh." That is their statement from their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before them. May Allāh destroy them; how are they deluded?
