Ayah: 144

وَمِنَ ٱلۡإِبِلِ ٱثۡنَيۡنِ وَمِنَ ٱلۡبَقَرِ ٱثۡنَيۡنِۗ قُلۡ ءَآلذَّكَرَيۡنِ حَرَّمَ أَمِ ٱلۡأُنثَيَيۡنِ أَمَّا ٱشۡتَمَلَتۡ عَلَيۡهِ أَرۡحَامُ ٱلۡأُنثَيَيۡنِۖ أَمۡ كُنتُمۡ شُهَدَآءَ إِذۡ وَصَّىٰكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِهَٰذَاۚ فَمَنۡ أَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفۡتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبٗا لِّيُضِلَّ ٱلنَّاسَ بِغَيۡرِ عِلۡمٍۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ

(144) “And two of camels and two of cattle. Say ˹Muhammad˺: “˹Pray you˺ Did He forbid the two males or the two females, or what is contained in the wombs of the two females? Or were you witness as Allah bade you to this ˹commandment˺?”^[1522] Who is more unjust than one who fabricates lies against Allah to misguide people with no basis in ˹proper˺ knowledge—verily Allah guides not the wrongful people.

[1522] This alludes to the fact that their so-called laws were not based on a revelation from the Creator of all things, Almighty God, which is the real source of proper knowledge (cf. al-Saʿdī).
