وقالوا ما في بطون هذه الانعام خالصة لذكورنا ومحرم على ازواجنا وان يكن ميتة فهم فيه شركاء سيجزيهم وصفهم انه حكيم عليم

They say: "What is In the wombs of Such and such cattle Is specially reserved (For food) for our men, And forbidden to our women; But if it is still-born, Then all have shares therein. For their (false) attribution (Of superstitions to God), He will soon punish them: For He is full Of wisdom and knowledge.
