Verse 138

وَقَالُوا۟ And they say هَـٰذِهِۦٓ These أَنْعَـٰمٌۭ (are) cattle وَحَرْثٌ and crops حِجْرٌۭ forbidden لَّا no (one) يَطْعَمُهَآ can eat them إِلَّا except مَن whom نَّشَآءُ we will بِزَعْمِهِمْ by their claim وَأَنْعَـٰمٌ And cattle حُرِّمَتْ forbidden ظُهُورُهَا (are) their backs وَأَنْعَـٰمٌۭ and cattle لَّا not يَذْكُرُونَ they mention ٱسْمَ (the) name ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah عَلَيْهَا on it ٱفْتِرَآءً (as) an invention عَلَيْهِ ۚ against Him سَيَجْزِيهِم He will recompense them بِمَا for what كَانُوا۟ they used to يَفْتَرُونَ invent ١٣٨

And they say, "These animals and crops are forbidden; no one may eat from them except whom we will," by their claim. And there are those [camels] whose backs are forbidden [by them] and those upon which the name of Allāh is not mentioned - [all of this] an invention of untruth about Him. He will punish them for what they were inventing.
