Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يُونُسَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَالَ كَذَّبَنِي عَبْدِي وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ لِيُكَذِّبَنِي وَشَتَمَنِي عَبْدِي وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَتْمِي فَأَمَّا تَكْذِيبُهُ إِيَّايَ فَيَقُولُ لَنْ يُعِيدَنِي كَالَّذِي بَدَأَنِي وَلَيْسَ آخِرُ الْخَلْقِ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أُعِيدَهُ مِنْ أَوَّلِهِ فَقَدْ كَذَّبَنِي إِنْ قَالَهَا وَأَمَّا شَتْمُهُ إِيَّايَ فَيَقُولُ اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ وَلَدًا أَنَا اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ الصَّمَدُ لَمْ أَلِدْ.
English Translation
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: 'My servant has denied Me, and he had no right to deny Me; and My servant has insulted Me, and he had no right to insult Me. As for his denying Me, he says: He will not recreate me as He created me the first time - but the recreation of creation is not more difficult for Me than its first creation. So he has denied Me if he says that. As for his insulting Me, he says: Allah has taken a son. I am Allah, the One, the Self-Sufficient. I did not beget.'"
