6:144

وَمِنَ And of ٱلْإِبِلِ the camels ٱثْنَيْنِ two وَمِنَ and of ٱلْبَقَرِ the cows ٱثْنَيْنِ ۗ two قُلْ Say ءَآلذَّكَرَيْنِ (Is it) the two males حَرَّمَ He (has) forbidden أَمِ or ٱلْأُنثَيَيْنِ the two females أَمَّا or what ٱشْتَمَلَتْ contains عَلَيْهِ [in it] أَرْحَامُ (the) wombs ٱلْأُنثَيَيْنِ ۖ (of) the two females أَمْ Or كُنتُمْ were you شُهَدَآءَ witnesses إِذْ when وَصَّىٰكُمُ enjoined you ٱللَّهُ Allah بِهَـٰذَا ۚ with this فَمَنْ Then who أَظْلَمُ (is) more unjust مِمَّنِ than (one) who ٱفْتَرَىٰ invents عَلَى against ٱللَّهِ Allah كَذِبًۭا a lie لِّيُضِلَّ to mislead ٱلنَّاسَ the people بِغَيْرِ without عِلْمٍ ۗ knowledge إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah لَا (does) not يَهْدِى guide ٱلْقَوْمَ the people ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ the wrongdoing ١٤٤

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."

6:145

قُل Say لَّآ Not أَجِدُ (do) I find فِى in مَآ what أُوحِىَ has been revealed إِلَىَّ to me مُحَرَّمًا (anything) forbidden عَلَىٰ to طَاعِمٍۢ an eater يَطْعَمُهُۥٓ who eats it إِلَّآ except أَن that يَكُونَ it be مَيْتَةً dead أَوْ or دَمًۭا blood مَّسْفُوحًا poured forth أَوْ or لَحْمَ (the) flesh خِنزِيرٍۢ (of) swine فَإِنَّهُۥ for indeed, it رِجْسٌ (is) filth أَوْ or فِسْقًا (it be) disobedience أُهِلَّ [is] dedicated لِغَيْرِ to other than ٱللَّهِ Allah بِهِۦ ۚ [on it] فَمَنِ But whoever ٱضْطُرَّ (is) compelled غَيْرَ not بَاغٍۢ desiring وَلَا and not عَادٍۢ transgressing فَإِنَّ then indeed رَبَّكَ your Lord غَفُورٌۭ (is) Oft-Forgiving رَّحِيمٌۭ Most Merciful ١٤٥

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. But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], then indeed, your Lord is Forgiving and Merciful."

6:146

وَعَلَى And to ٱلَّذِينَ those who هَادُوا۟ are Jews حَرَّمْنَا We forbade كُلَّ every ذِى (animal) with ظُفُرٍۢ ۖ claws وَمِنَ and of ٱلْبَقَرِ the cows وَٱلْغَنَمِ and the sheep حَرَّمْنَا We forbade عَلَيْهِمْ to them شُحُومَهُمَآ their fat إِلَّا except مَا what حَمَلَتْ carried ظُهُورُهُمَآ their backs أَوِ or ٱلْحَوَايَآ the entrails أَوْ or مَا what ٱخْتَلَطَ (is) joined بِعَظْمٍۢ ۚ with the bone ذَٰلِكَ That جَزَيْنَـٰهُم (is) their recompense بِبَغْيِهِمْ ۖ for their rebellion وَإِنَّا And indeed, We لَصَـٰدِقُونَ [surely] are truthful ١٤٦

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.

6:147

فَإِن But if كَذَّبُوكَ they deny you فَقُل then say رَّبُّكُمْ Your Lord ذُو (is the) Possessor رَحْمَةٍۢ (of) Mercy وَٰسِعَةٍۢ Vast وَلَا but not يُرَدُّ will be turned back بَأْسُهُۥ His wrath عَنِ from ٱلْقَوْمِ the people ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ (who are) criminals ١٤٧

So if they deny you, [O Muḥammad], say, "Your Lord is the possessor of vast mercy; but His punishment cannot be repelled from the people who are criminals."
