5.103

مَا جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ مِنْۢ بَحِیْرَةٍ وَّ لَا سَآىٕبَةٍ وَّ لَا وَصِیْلَةٍ وَّ لَا حَامٍۙ-وَّ لٰكِنَّ الَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا یَفْتَرُوْنَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ الْكَذِبَؕ-وَ اَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا یَعْقِلُوْنَ(103)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

Allah did not appoint Baḥīrah and Sāʾibah and Waṣīlah and Ḥām, rather the disbelievers ascribe lies to Allah.[1] And most of them are irrational.

Commentary

During the era of ignorance, the polytheists had appointed some customs of letting certain animals roam freely in the name of idols, or they would forbid themselves from taking any benefit from them. They would say that if a certain matter is fulfilled, or if we profit from this animal in such and such way, then we shall give special names to the animals. The verse mentions four names that were used by the polytheists: Baḥīrah, Sāʾibah, Waṣīlah, and Ḥām. They would leave these animals for the idols and considered taking benefit from them to be unlawful saying that Allah Almighty had commanded them to do this. The verse refutes the polytheists declaring that Allah Almighty did not give them any such command and that they were ascribing a lie to Him.
