Al-An'am 6:138 وقالوا هاذه انعام وحرث حجر لا يطعمها الا من نشاء بزعمهم وانعام حرمت ظهورها وانعام لا يذكرون اسم الله عليها افتراء عليه سيجزيهم بما كانوا يفترون ١٣٨

وَقَالُواْ
هَٰذِهِۦٓ
أَنۡعَٰمٞ
وَحَرۡثٌ
حِجۡرٞ
لَّا
يَطۡعَمُهَآ

مَن
نَّشَآءُ
بِزَعۡمِهِمۡ
وَأَنۡعَٰمٌ
حُرِّمَتۡ
ظُهُورُهَا
وَأَنۡعَٰمٞ
لَّا
يَذۡكُرُونَ
ٱسۡمَ
ٱللَّهِ
عَلَيۡهَا
ٱفۡتِرَآءً
عَلَيۡهِۚ
سَيَجۡزِيهِم
بِمَا
كَانُواْ
يَفۡتَرُونَ

They say: 'These animals and these crops are sacrosanct: none may eat of them save those whom we will' - imposing interdictions of their own contriving.1 And they declare that it is forbidden to burden the backs of certain cattle, and these are the cattle over which they do not pronounce the name of Allah.2 All these are false fabrications against Allah,3 and He will soon requite them for all that they fabricate.

Chapter 6, Page 146, Juz 8

136. They assign to Allah a portion out of the produce and cattle that He has created, saying out of their fancy: 'This is for Allah' - so they deem -'and this is for the associates (of Allah) whom we have contrived.' Then, the portion assigned to the beings whom they have set up as associates (of Allah) does not reach Allah, but the portion assigned to Allah reaches the beings they set up as associates (of Allah)! Indeed evil is what they decide! 137. And, likewise, the beings supposed to have a share in Allah's divinity have made the slaying of their offspring seem lawful to many of those who associate others with Allah in His divinity so that they may ruin them and confound them regarding their faith. If Allah had so willed, they would not have done that. Leave them alone to persist in their fabrication. 138. They say: 'These animals and these crops are sacrosanct: none may eat of them save those whom we will' - imposing interdictions of their own contriving. And they declare that it is forbidden to burden the backs of certain cattle, and these are the cattle over which they do not pronounce the name of Allah. All these are false fabrications against Allah, and He will soon requite them for all that they fabricate. 139. And they say: 'What is within the bellies of such-and-such cattle is exclusively for our males and is forbidden to our females; but if it be born dead, they all may share in it.' He will soon requite them for all that they (falsely) attribute to Allah. He is All-Wise, All-Knowing. 140. Those who slayed their children in folly, without knowledge,.and forbade the sustenance that Allah has provided them, falsely ascribing that to Allah, are utter losers; they have gone astray, and are certainly not among those guided to the right way.

- A. Maududi (Tafhim commentary)
