وَجَعَلُوا
لِلَّهِ
مِمَّا
ذَرَأَ
مِنَ
الْحَرْثِ
وَالْأَنْعَامِ
نَصِيبًا
فَقَالُوا
هَذَا
لِلَّهِ
بِزَعْمِهِمْ
وَهَذَا
لِشُرَكَائِنَا
فَمَا
كَانَ
لِشُرَكَائِهِمْ
فَلَا
يَصِلُ
إِلَى
اللَّهِ
وَمَا
كَانَ
لِلَّهِ
فَهُوَ
يَصِلُ
إِلَى
شُرَكَائِهِمْ
سَاءَ
مَا
يَحْكُمُونَ

Out of what Allah hath produced in abundance in tilth and in cattle, they assigned Him a share: they say, according to their fancies: "This is for Allah, and this" - for our "partners"! but the share of their" partners "reacheth not Allah, whilst the share of Allah reacheth their "partners"! evil (and unjust) is their assignment!
— Abdullah Yusufali
They dedicate a portion to Allah out of what He has created of the crops and cattle, and say, ‘This is for Allah,’ so do they maintain, ‘and this is for our partners.’ But what is for their partners does not reach Allah, and what is for Allah reaches their partners. Evil is the judgement that they make.
