Translation of Verse 141-144

141. He is the One Who produces gardens-both cultivated and wild ²⁹⁹ -and palm trees, crops of different flavours, olives, and pomegranates-similar ˹in shape˺, but dissimilar ˹in taste˺. Eat from the fruit they bear and pay the dues at harvest, but do not waste. Surely He does not like the wasteful.

142. Some cattle are fit for labour, others are too small. ³⁰¹ Eat of what Allah has provided for you and do not follow Satan's footsteps. Certainly, he is your sworn enemy.

143. ˹Allah has created˺ four pairs: a pair of sheep and a pair of goats-ask ˹them, O Prophet˺, "Has He forbidden ˹to you˺ the two males or the two females or what is in the wombs of the two females? Tell me with knowledge, if what you say is true."-

144. and a pair of camels and a pair of oxen. Ask ˹them˺, "Has He forbidden ˹to you˺ the two males or the two females or what is in the wombs of the two females? Or were you present when Allah gave you this commandment?" Who does more wrong than those who fabricate lies against Allah to mislead others without ˹any˺ knowledge? Surely Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.

Commentary

299. Or trellised and untrellised.

300. These four pairs were the main domesticated cattle in Arabia at the time of revelation.

301. Strong cattle like camels and oxen can be used for labour, whereas smaller ones like goats and sheep are not suitable for labour but are good for their meat, milk, hide, etc.
