Al-Ma'idah 116: When Allah will ask; “Oh Jesus, the son of Mary! Did you tell mankind, know me and my mother as two deities in addition to Allah?”, he will say; “You are far from all imperfection, it does not befit me to say things that I do not have a right to say. And if I were to say (this), You surely would know. You know that which is in me, but I do not know what is in You. You are the only One who truly knows the hidden.

When Allah will ask; “Oh Jesus, the son of Mary! Did you tell mankind, know me and my mother as two deities in addition to Allah?”, he will say; “You are far from all imperfection, it does not befit me to say things that I do not have a right to say. And if I were to say (this), You surely would know. You know that which is in me, but I do not know what is in You. You are the only One who truly knows the hidden.
Tafsir
On the Day of Judgment, when Allah (swt) gathers the people and the Prophets together, He will say to Jesus, "O Jesus! Did you say that I and my mother should know two gods besides Allah? He will say, O Allah, it does not befit me to say what I have no right to say, that is, what I do not have the power to create, even though I know that Allah is the absolute Creator and Ruler of this whole universe, that there is no other God but Him, and that He alone is the owner of His creation. What he means by saying it is unworthy of me is that You have taught me the Book and wisdom and what I did not know, and You have elevated me in Your sight. Can those whom you raise be like those whom other people raise, O Allah? Can those whom you raise do injustice to you, O Allah. He will say, 'My God, is this worthy of what You have taught me?
(And if I had told you, you would certainly know it), and surely it is You alone who knows the condition of all Your creatures. You alone know what is openly and secretly. He will say, "My Allah, there is nothing hidden or closed in Your sight, and since You know the secrets of all hearts, You surely know what is in me.
(Whereas I do not know what is in Your Essence.) For only You know what You have created, why You have created it and for what purpose. You are the owner of wisdom. You are the One who knows everything from the mote to the sphere. You are the only one who knows the secrets completely. In Your sight, O Allah, nothing is hidden or concealed. As the Prophet (PBUH) will testify to all the Prophets, he will also testify to the truthfulness of Hazrat Jesus. Allah (swt) knows his truthfulness.
What is said in the video
In the verse Allah Almighty says: O Allah, O Jesus, son of Mary, was it you who said to people: take me and my mother as two gods besides Allah? He says. Now, does Allah Almighty not know? He has it witnessed that he did not say it.
When He says: was it you, was it you who said take as two gods, he: Far from it! Glory be to You. It does not befit me to say what I have no right to. It does not befit me to say what I have no right to. And had I said it, You would surely have known it, he says. You know what is within me, but I do not know what is in Your Self. You alone know the hidden things in full, he says. The hidden things. You alone know them in full. Because the keys of the unseen are in Allah's hand.
On the Day of Resurrection, on that Day of Reckoning, when Allah Almighty gathers people and prophets together, addressing Jesus: O Jesus, was it you who said, take me and my mother as two gods besides Allah? — when He says this, Jesus will say: Far from it, glory be to You; what I have no right to — that is, as I have no power to create, as there is no other god besides Your Self, the absolute Creator and Ruler of this whole universe, and as the owner of what You created is Your Self alone, it does not befit me (?) (?) it does not befit me to say what I have no right to over these, my Allah, he will say.
It does not befit me.
What he means by saying it does not befit me is: You taught me the Book and wisdom, what I did not know, he says. The Book and wisdom. These are verses. You raised me up in Your presence. Can those You have raised be like those other people have raised?
Can those You have raised do injustice against You, my Allah, he will say; would it befit what You taught me, my Allah, he will say. Also: And had I said it, You would surely have known it. Surely You alone are aware of the state of all that You created. Allah Almighty created this universe. What, from where, what will be, what will be needed from where, its wisdoms — Allah knows. This universe He created, from the atom to the greatest, He created within His own power and rule. He never created any being outside that rule. Just as He created nothing He would not know, (?), He placed no burden that a person's strength cannot bear on his back.
Yes. What are we saying? Also: And had I said it, You would surely have known it; surely You alone are aware of the state of all that You created. What is open and what is secret, You alone know. In Your hand there is nothing hidden or closed. And since You know the secrets of all hearts, surely You know what is within me too, my Allah, he will say. Why will He know? Because Allah Almighty, who gives them their characters according to their desires and wishes and knows what they can do within those characters, that they are like this — as I always say, with the verse: there is not a single living being that will come until the Day of Resurrection of whom We do not know what he will not do — is the One who keeps what He created under His rule and knows what they can say and what they have said.
Whereas I cannot know what is in Your Self, he says. What is in His Self. No one can know what is in the Self of Allah Almighty. When the Prophet (peace be upon him) ascended in the Mi'raj, he praised Allah Almighty. You are the Lord of the worlds. You are the Creator of this whole universe — when he said this, Allah Almighty, the Prophet (peace be upon him) (?). Your speaking like this, He says, was like the rebellious of your community, He says.
Yes. His community is Muslim, after all. His community. At that moment, he says, (?) to my lips, a grain sweeter than sugar came, he says. And from my lips such words poured out, he says. I cannot praise Your Self. As You have praised Your Self.
So, whereas I do not know what is in Your Self, because why and for what purpose You created Your creation, only You know. You are the Possessor of wisdom; from the atom to the (?), You know all that exists in truth. You alone know the hidden things in full. Since the Prophet (peace be upon him) will bear witness for all the prophets, he will bear witness to the truthfulness of Jesus (peace be upon him). Allah Almighty also knows his truthfulness. Yes.
