[6:138]
And they say: Such cattle and crops are
forbidden. No-one is to eat of them save whom we will - in their make-believe -
cattle whose backs are forbidden, cattle over which they mention not the name
of Allah. (All that is) a lie against Him. He will
repay them for that which they invent.
[6:139]
And they say: That which is in the bellies of
such cattle is reserved for our males and is forbidden to our wives; but if it
be born dead, then they (all) may be partakers thereof. He will reward them for
their attribution (of such ordinances unto Him). Lo, He is Wise, Aware.
[6:140]
They are losers who besottedly have slain their
children without knowledge, and have forbidden that which Allah bestowed upon
them, inventing a lie against Allah. They indeed have gone astray and are not
guided.
[6:141]
He it is Who produceth
gardens trellised and untrellised, and the date-palm, and crops of divers
flavour, and the olive and the pomegranate, like and unlike. Eat ye of the fruit thereof when it fruiteth, and pay the due
thereof upon the harvest day, and be not prodigal. Lo! Allah loveth not the
prodigals.
[6:142]
And of the cattle (He produceth) some for
burdens, some for food. Eat of that which Allah hath bestowed upon you, and
follow not the footsteps of the devil, for lo! he is
an open foe to you.
