English

Ahmed Ali

They also say: "These cattle and these crops are consecrated. None may eat of them other than those we permit," -- so they assert. "And the use of these cattle is forbidden for carrying burden." They do not pronounce the name of God on certain animals, inventing lies against Him. He will punish them for what they fabricate.

Tafseer

'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī

تفسير : (and they say: such cattle) i.e. the bahirah, al-sa'ibah, al-wasilah and al-ham (and crops are forbidden. no one is to eat of them save whom we will in their make believe) they means men to the exclusion of women (cattle whose backs are forbidden) i.e. what is known as al-ham, (cattle over which they mention not the name of allah) when they get pregnant or deliver, this is what is called al-bahirah. ((all that is) a lie against him) i.e. that he commanded them to do so. (he will repay them for that which they invent) for lying against him.

Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī

تفسير : they say, ‘these cattle and tillage are sacrosanct, forbidden. no one is to eat of them except whom we will’, from among the retainers of the graven images and others — so they assert, in other words, they have no [convincing] argument for it — ‘and cattle whose backs have been forbidden, and cannot therefore be ridden, such as the camels [they call] sā’ibas or hāmīs, and cattle over which they do not invoke the name of god’, when they slaughter them, invoking instead the names of their idols, ascribing such [rules] to god; forging lies against him. he will assuredly requite them for what they used to fabricate, against him.
