Al-Jinn 72:3–5
Exalted is our Lord
وَأَنَّهُۥ تَعَٰلَىٰ جَدُّ رَبِّنَا مَا ٱتَّخَذَ صَٰحِبَةًۭ وَلَا وَلَدًۭا ٣ وَأَنَّهُۥ كَانَ يَقُولُ سَفِيهُنَا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ شَطَطًۭا ٤ وَأَنَّا ظَنَنَّآ أَن لَّن تَقُولَ ٱلْإِنسُ وَٱلْجِنُّ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًۭا ٥
The meaning, simply
They said: exalted is the majesty of our Lord; He has taken neither a wife nor a son. Our foolish one, Iblis, used to say lies about Allah, and we thought that no human or jinn would ever lie about Allah.
