god has ordained no sanctity about animals described as bahirah or saibah or wasilah or ham. those who deny the truth invent falsehoods about god. most of them do not use their reason when it is said to them come to what god has sent down and to the messenger. they reply the faith we have inherited from our fathers is sufficient for us. even though their forefathers knew nothing and were not guided!
ما جعل الله من بحيرة ولا سائبة ولا وصيلة ولا حام ولكن الذين كفروا يفترون على الله الكذب وأكثرهم لا يعقلون وإذا قيل لهم تعالوا إلى ما أنزل الله وإلى الرسول قالوا حسبنا ما وجدنا عليه آباءنا أولو كان آباؤهم لا يعلمون شيئا ولا يهتدون
