Surah Al-An'am Ayah 138

وَقَالُوا۟ هَـٰذِهِۦٓ أَنْعَـٰمٌ وَحَرْثٌ حِجْرٌ لَّا يَطْعَمُهَآ إِلَّا مَن نَّشَآءُ بِزَعْمِهِمْ وَأَنْعَـٰمٌ حُرِّمَتْ ظُهُورُهَا وَأَنْعَـٰمٌ لَّا يَذْكُرُونَ ٱسْمَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا ٱفْتِرَآءً عَلَيْهِ ۚ سَيَجْزِيهِم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ

In Saheeh International's English translation, Quran 6:138 says: “And they say, "These animals<sup foot_note=196276>1</sup> and crops are forbidden; no one may eat from them except whom we will," by their claim. And there are those [camels] whose backs are forbidden [by them]<sup foot_note=196275>2</sup> and those upon which the name of Allāh is not mentioned<sup foot_note=196274>3</sup> - [all of this] an invention of untruth about Him.<sup foot_note=196273>4</sup> He will punish them for what they were inventing.”
