ثَمَـٰنِيَةَ Eight thamāniyata pairs azwājin of mina the sheep l-ḍani two ith'nayni and of wamina the goats l-maʿzi two ith'nayni Say qul (Are) the two males āldhakarayni He has forbidden ḥarrama or ami the two females l-unthayayni or what ammā contains ish'tamalat [in it] ʿalayhi (the) wombs arḥāmu (of) the two females l-unthayayni Inform me nabbiūnī with knowledge biʿil'min if in you are kuntum truthful ṣādiqīna
[They are] eight mates - of the sheep, two and of the goats, two. Say, "Is it the two males He has forbidden or the two females or that which the wombs of the two females contain? Inform me with knowledge, if you should be truthful."
وَمِنَ And of wamina the camels l-ibili two ith'nayni and of wamina the cows l-baqari two ith'nayni Say qul (Is it) the two males āldhakarayni He (has) forbidden ḥarrama or ami the two females l-unthayayni or what ammā contains ish'tamalat [in it] ʿalayhi (the) wombs arḥāmu (of) the two females l-unthayayni Or am were you kuntum witnesses shuhadāa when idh enjoined you waṣṣākumu Allah l-lahu with this bihādhā Then who faman (is) more unjust aẓlamu than (one) who mimmani invents if'tarā against ʿalā Allah l-lahi a lie kadhiban to mislead liyuḍilla the people l-nāsa without bighayri knowledge ʿil'min Indeed inna Allah l-laha (does) not lā guide yahdī the people l-qawma the wrongdoing l-ẓālimīna
And of the camels, two and of the cattle, two. Say, "Is it the two males He has forbidden or the two females or that which the wombs of the two females contain? Or were you witnesses when Allāh charged you with this? Then who is more unjust than one who invents a lie about Allāh to mislead the people by [something] other than knowledge? Indeed, Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people."
قُل Say qul Not lā (do) I find ajidu in fī what mā has been revealed ūḥiya to me ilayya (anything) forbidden muḥarraman to ʿalā an eater ṭāʿimin who eats it yaṭʿamuhu except illā that an it be yakūna dead maytatan or aw blood daman poured forth masfūḥan or aw (the) flesh laḥma (of) swine khinzīrin for indeed, it fa-innahu (is) filth rij'sun or aw (it be) disobedience fis'qan [is] dedicated uhilla to other than lighayri Allah l-lahi [on it] bihi But whoever famani (is) compelled uḍ'ṭurra not ghayra desiring bāghin and not walā transgressing ʿādin then indeed fa-inna your Lord rabbaka (is) Oft-Forgiving ghafūrun Most Merciful raḥīmun
Say, "I do not find within that which was revealed to me [anything] forbidden to one who would eat it unless it be a dead animal or blood spilled out or the flesh of swine - for indeed, it is impure - or it be [that slaughtered in] disobedience, dedicated to other than Allāh.1 But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], then indeed, your Lord is Forgiving and Merciful."
وَعَلَى And to waʿalā those who alladhīna are Jews hādū We forbade ḥarramnā every kulla (animal) with dhī claws ẓufurin and of wamina the cows l-baqari and the sheep wal-ghanami We forbade ḥarramnā to them ʿalayhim their fat shuḥūmahumā except illā what mā carried ḥamalat their backs ẓuhūruhumā or awi the entrails l-ḥawāyā or aw what mā (is) joined ikh'talaṭa with the bone biʿaẓmin That dhālika (is) their recompense jazaynāhum for their rebellion bibaghyihim And indeed, We wa-innā [surely] are truthful laṣādiqūna
And to those who are Jews We prohibited every animal of uncloven hoof; and of the cattle and the sheep We prohibited to them their fat, except what adheres to their backs or the entrails or what is joined with bone. [By] that We repaid them for their transgression. And indeed, We are truthful.
