Sura 6
Aya 138
138
وَقالوا هٰذِهِ أَنعامٌ وَحَرثٌ حِجرٌ لا يَطعَمُها إِلّا مَن نَشاءُ بِزَعمِهِم وَأَنعامٌ حُرِّمَت ظُهورُها وَأَنعامٌ لا يَذكُرونَ اسمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيهَا افتِراءً عَلَيهِ ۚ سَيَجزيهِم بِما كانوا يَفتَرونَ

They say: ‘These animals and these crops are forbidden. None may eat of them save those whom we permit.’ So they assert. And there are other beasts which they prohibit men from riding, and others over which they do not pronounce the name of God, thus committing a sin against Him. He will punish them for their invented lies.
