Translations

Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

And of the camels twain and of the oxen twain. Say: Hath He forbidden the two males or the two females, or that which the wombs of the two females contain; or were ye by to witness when Allah commanded you (all) this? Then who doth greater wrong than he who deviseth a lie concerning Allah, that he may lead mankind astray without knowledge. Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Of camels a pair, and oxen a pair; say, hath He forbidden the two males, or the two females, or (the young) which the wombs of the two females enclose? - Were ye present when Allah ordered you such a thing? But who doth more wrong than one who invents a lie against Allah, to lead astray men without knowledge? For Allah guideth not people who do wrong.

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

وقوله : ( أم كنتم شهداء إذ وصاكم الله بهذا ) تهكم بهم فيما ابتدعوه وافتروه على الله ، من تحريم ما حرموه من ذلك ، ( فمن أظلم ممن افترى على الله كذبا ليضل الناس بغير علم ) أي : لا أحد أظلم منه ، ( إن الله لا يهدي القوم الظالمين ) .

وأول من دخل في هذه الآية : عمرو بن لحي بن قمعة ، فإنه أول من غير دين الأنبياء ، وأول من سيب السوائب ، ووصل الوصيلة ، وحمى الحامي ، كما ثبت ذلك في الصحيح .
