    114. The tribes of Khaza'ah and Kananah would say that the angels are the daughters of Allah Almighty, although children are from the genus of the father. Also, children cannot be the possessions of the fathers. Thus, if the angels had been the daughters of Allah Almighty then they themselves should have been God and not the servants of God Almighty. 

    115. This means sons. Its purpose is to make us aware that they are so uncouth and ill mannered that they desire sons for themselves, and try to prove them as daughters of Allah Almighty.
