مَا
جَعَلَ
اللَّهُ
مِن
بَحِيرَةٍ
وَلَا
سَائِبَةٍ
وَلَا
وَصِيلَةٍ
وَلَا
حَامٍ
وَلَكِنَّ
الَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا
يَفْتَرُونَ
عَلَى
اللَّهِ
الْكَذِبَ
وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ
لَا
يَعْقِلُونَ
mā jaʿala llāhu min baḥīratin wa-lā sāʾibatin wa-lā waṣīlatin wa-lā ḥāmin wa-lākinna lladhīna kafarū yaftarūna ʿalā llāhi l-kadhiba wa-ʾaktharuhum lā yaʿqilūna
It was not Allah who instituted (superstitions like those of) a slit-ear she-camel, or a she-camel let loose for free pasture, or idol sacrifices for twin-births in animals, or stallion-camels freed from work: It is blasphemers who invent a lie against Allah; but most of them lack wisdom.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Allah has not prescribed any such thing as Bahirah, Sa’ibah, Waseelah, or Haam; but those who are faithless fabricate lies against Allah, and most of them do not exercise their reason.
