139. And they say: That which
is in the bellies of such cattle is reserved for our males and is forbidden
to our wives. And if it be born dead, then they (all) may be partakers
thereof. He will reward them for their attribution (of such ordinances unto
Him) Lo, He is Wise, Aware.
140. They are losers who besottedly have slain their children without
knowledge, and have forbidden that which Allah bestowed upon them, inventing
a lie against Allah. They indeed have gone astray and are not guided.

Lesson
Wasfahum – (their attribution, saying by
them), wasf means to describe (to attribute).
Here it aims “Dictation by them about the legal (lawful) and the illegal
(unlawful).
In this verse, another useless
tradition of theirs has been discussed. It is commanded that they had some cattle
which were set free in the name of idols, named as Bahiira, Saaibah,
etc. This matter has been discussed already
in Surah ‘Al-Maaidah. If those cattle bring forth any calf, eating
its meat is forbidden for their women, and that is reserved only for their male
members. But if it is born dead, then they all (male and female persons)
may be partakers thereof (can eat its meat all together). If they are asked the reason behind it, then they say that it is the command
of Allah. Allah Almighty knows that this attribution of theirs is a great blasphemy
and He will punish them for it.
After that, it is commanded that entirely
their sins are cause of their loss. First of all, they used to kill their
children due to ignorance and stupidity, either to sacrifice them for the sake
of idols, or because of the fear of poverty or disgrace and shame, as some
ignorant people used to think about the girls that they would be married with
other people, which would be disgraceful for them. And secondly, making that food
forbidden which is bestowed by Allah Almighty, and then, telling a lie that
Allah has made it forbidden. All these matters belong to depravity certainly. Those
People, who go on the right path, do not say so.
