Tafsir
(It befitteth not (the Majesty of) Allah that He should take unto Himself a son Glory be to Him!) Allah absolves Himself from taking a son or partner. (When He decreeth a thing) when He wants to create a son without a father, (He saith unto it only: Be! and it is) a son without a father, just like Jesus.

Al-Jalalayn Commentary
It is not befitting for God to take to Himself a son. Glory be to Him — in affirmation of His being transcendent above doing such a thing. When He decrees a thing that is when He will for it to happen He only says to it ‘Be!’ and it is read fa-yakūnu because of an implied pronoun huwa sc. fa-huwa yakūnu; or read fa-yakūna because of an implied an sc. an yakūna. An example of this is His creating Jesus without his having had a father.
