wajaʿalū lahu min ʿibādihi juz'an inna l-insāna lakafūrun mubīnun
Translation
But they have attributed to Him from His servants a portion.1434 Indeed, man is clearly ungrateful.
Notes
[1434] By claiming that He (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) has a son or daughters, as it is said that a child is part of his parent. This concept is totally incompatible with Allāh's unity and exclusiveness.

80 recitations by 74 reciters: pick one and it plays in the player.
The idolaters claim that some of the creations are the offspring of the Creator (may He be glorified), when they said, “The angels are the daughters of Allah”. Indeed, the human who makes these kind of statements is very ungrateful and deviant.
Yet they ascribe to Him some of His slaves as offspring8. Indeed, man is clearly ungrateful.
Notes
[8] By falsely claiming that Allah has a son or daughters, which are the allegations of disbelievers and polytheists.
Yet, they assign to some of His slaves a share with Him (by pretending that He has children, and considering them as equals or co-partners in worship with Him). Verily, man is indeed a manifest ingrate!
And they allot to Him a portion of His bondmen! Lo! man is verily a mere ingrate.
Yet they attribute to some of His servants a share with Him (in his godhead)! truly is man a blasphemous ingrate avowed!
And they assign to Him a part of His servants; man, to be sure, is clearly ungrateful.
And they have made up for Him a portion of His bondmen! (i.e., associates with Him) Surely man is indeed evidently a constant disbeliever.
And they [i.e., the polytheists] assign to Allāh from that which He created of crops and livestock a share and say, "This is for Allāh," by their claim, "and this is for our 'partners' [associated with Him]." But what is for their "partners" does not reach Allāh, while what is for Allāh - this reaches their "partners." Evil is that which they rule.
And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], "Worship Allāh and avoid ṭāghūt." And among them were those whom Allāh guided, and among them were those upon whom error was [deservedly] decreed. So proceed [i.e., travel] through the earth and observe how was the end of the deniers.
