They make the jinn partners of Allah, though He has created them, and carve out sons and daughters for Him, without any knowledge. Immaculate is He and exalted above what they allege [concerning Him]!
— Ali Quli Qarai
Surah Al-‘An’am, Verse 100
100. "And they set up the jinn associates with Allah , while He created them, and they falsely attributed to Him sons and daughters without knowledge, Glory be to Him, and highly Exalted is He above what they ascribe (to Him)."

And the other was the Jews who believed Ezra was His son.
But, Surah Taubah No.9 verse 30 denotes that the belief in the existence of son for the Lord was not allocated to the Christians and the Jews. This wrong idea had existed among the former people with superstitious schools of thought, too. Now, what about the belief in the existence of daughters for the Lord? In Surah Az-Zukhruf No.43. verse 19, the Qur'an itself says:
But, at the end of the verse under discussion the Qur'an nullifies all these superstitious imaginations and these vain baseless fancies, and, by an expressive and clear sentence, it says:
