When a delegation of 60 men from Christian people of Najran came to the Prophet (S), their chief priest discussed with him the status of Jesus & asked him as to who Jesus' father was.
Prophet said: 'Do you not know tht a son resembles his father?' They replied: 'Yes'. He said: A lastum ta'lamuna anna rabbana la yamutu wa anna Isa ata 'alaihi-l-fana', i.e., Do you not know that our Lord lives for ever while Jesus perished."
(Asbab an-nuzul, by Imam Abu-l-Hasan Neshapur, published in Egypt,p.53
