Sura 6
Aya 139
139
وَقالوا ما في بُطونِ هٰذِهِ الأَنعامِ خالِصَةٌ لِذُكورِنا وَمُحَرَّمٌ عَلىٰ أَزواجِنا ۖ وَإِن يَكُن مَيتَةً فَهُم فيهِ شُرَكاءُ ۚ سَيَجزيهِم وَصفَهُم ۚ إِنَّهُ حَكيمٌ عَليمٌ

Yusuf Ali

They say: “What is in the wombs of such and such cattle is specially reserved (for food) for our men, and forbidden to our women; but if it is still-born, then all have shares therein.1 For their (false) attribution (of superstitions to God., He will soon punish them: for He is full of wisdom and knowledge.
  • These are further Pagan superstitions about cattle. Some have already been noted in 5:103, which may be consulted with the notes.
