th their
devices.

S: And thus their associates have made fair seeming to most of the
polytheists the killing of their children, that they may cause them to
perish and obscure for them their religion; and if Allah had pleased,
they would not have done it, therefore leave them and that which they
forge.

Y: And they say that such and such cattle and crops are taboo, and none
should eat of them except those whom - so they say - We wish; further,
there are cattle forbidden to yoke or burden, and cattle on which, (at
slaughter), the name of Allah is not pronounced; - inventions against
Allah's name: soon will He requite them for their inventions.

P: And they say: Such cattle and crops are forbidden. No-one is to eat
of them save whom we will - in their make-believe - cattle whose backs
are forbidden, cattle over which they mention not the name of Allah.
(All that is) a lie against Him. He will repay them for that which they
invent.

S: And they say: These are cattle and tilth prohibited, none shall eat
them except such as We please-- so they assert-- and cattle whose backs
are forbidden, and cattle on which they would not mention Allah's
name-- forging a lie against Him; He shall requite them for what they
forged.

Y: 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 share therein." For their (false)
attribution (of superstitions to Allah), He will soon punish them: for
He is full of wisdom and knowledge.

P: And they say: That which is in the bellies of such cattle is reserved
for our males and is forbidden to our wives; but 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.

S: And they say: What is in the wombs of these cattle is specially for
our males, and forbidden to our wives, and if it be stillborn, then
they are all partners in it; He will reward them for their attributing
(falsehood to Allah); surely He is Wise, Knowing.

Y: Lost are those who slay their children, from folly, without
knowledge, and forbid food which Allah hath provided for them,
inventing (lies) against Allah. They have indeed gone astray and heeded
no guidance.

P: They are losers who besottedly have slain their children without
knowledge, and have forbidden that which Allah bestowed
