وَقَالُوا هٰذِهٖٓ اَنْعَامٌ وَحَرْثٌ حِجْرٌؗ لَا یَطْعَمُهَٓا اِلَّا مَنْ نَشَٓاءُ بِزَعْمِهِمْ وَاَنْعَامٌ حُرِّمَتْ ظُهُورُهَا وَاَنْعَامٌ لَا یَذْكُرُونَ اسْمَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْهَا افْتِرَٓاءً عَلَیْهِؕ سَیَجْزٖیهِمْ بِمَا كَانُوا یَفْتَرُونَ

Translations

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 Allah is not mentioned - [all of this] an invention of untruth about Him. He will punish them for what they were inventing

Saheeh International

And they say: Such cattle and crops are forbidden. No-one is to eat of them save whom we will - in their make-believe - cattle whose backs are forbidden, cattle over which they mention not the name of Allah. (All that is) a lie against Him. He will repay them for that which they invent
