So eat of their fruit when they are in fruit, and give on the day of harvesting His due, and do not be extravagant, for God does not love those who are prodigal. 141 Of the cattle there are some for carrying burdens and some for food.

Say: 'Is it the two males He has forbidden or the two females? Or what the wombs of the two females contain?

Who then doth greater wrong than he who fabricateth a lie against Allah that he may lead people astray; verily Allah shall not guide a wrong-doing people. 144
