(9:30) The Jews said, "Ezra is Allah's son," and the Nazarenes said, "The Messiah is Allah's son." Such is their utterances with their mouths; they imitate the sayings of those who rejected before them. Allah's curse be on them. How fake they are!
(51:52-53) Likewise, when a messenger went to those before them, they said, "A magician, or genius." Have they passed down this saying to each other? Indeed, they are a wicked people.
