(144) وَ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ اثْنَيْنِ وَ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ اثْنَيْنِ قُلْ آلذَّكَرَيْنِ حَرَّمَ أَمِ الْأُنْثَيَيْنِ أَمَّا اشْتَمَلَتْ
عَلَيْهِ أَرْحامُ الْأُنْثَيَيْنِ أَمْ كُنْتُمْ شُهَداءَ إِذْ وَصَّاكُمُ اللَّهُ بِهذا فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرى عَلَى اللَّهِ
كَذِباً لِيُضِلَّ النَّاسَ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ
144. " And of camels a pair and of oxen a pair. Say:' Has He forbidden the two males or the two females or what is contained in the wombs of the two females? Or were you witnesses when Allah enjoined you this ? ' Who, then, is more unjust than him who forges a lie against Allah to mislead the people without knowledge ? Verily Allah does not guide the unjust people."
Commentary :
There are four more pairs of animals explained in this holy verse. It says :
" And of camels a pair and of oxen a pair. Say: ' Has He forbidden the two males or the two females or what is contained in the wombs of the two females ?..."
The commandment concerning to these animals that they are lawful or unlawful, is up to Allah's Will, Who is the Creator of them and the Creator of human beings and the world of existence both.
The former verse explicitly said that there was no reasonable and scientific proof with the pagans upon the prohibition of these animals. And, since they did not claim that they themselves were prophets nor the site of revelation, thus, the third probability remains that they claim that when this commandment was issued, some of prophets were present and they were witnesses. It is such that it says :
"... Or were you witnesses when Allah enjoined you this ? ' ..."
And, since the answer of this question has also been negative, it is clearly proved that they had no capital in this regard save accusation and calumny.
Therefore, at the end of the verse, it adds :
"... Who, then, is more unjust than him who forges a lie against Allah to mislead the people without knowledge ? Verily Allah does not guide the unjust people."
It is understood from the above-mentioned verse that the act of belying against Allah is one of the greatest unjusts : the unjust unto the Holy Essence of the Lord, the unjust unto the servants of Allah, and the unjust towards their own selves.
