138. 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, and 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.

Commentary
Hijrun – (forbidden), it is a noun, which has been derived
from hajar. Hajar means “to prohibit, forbidding,
to prevent”. The aim from hijr is the thing, use
of which is forbidden. Its actual meaning is “hindrance, stoppage”.
Some more
absurd works of the idolaters have been described in this verse, to which they
had made part of their religion due to misleading by Satan. Some things, for
instance; they used to dedicate any cattle or crop in the name of idols and
commonly those were not permitted to be eaten. Some things were forbidden from
eating either by the women, or only married women might eat, but any virgin or
widow was not permitted to eat, OR either only male people were allowed eating,
or only adult (young) men were permitted to eat but the children and old men
were not allowed Or opposite to it or the clergymen of the idols etc.
These were
only their imaginary matters that they used to do, what they thought. Like
this, they used to leave some cattle in the name of their idols that no one
should ride upon them. Mentioning the name of Allah at the time of milking or
slaughtering some cattle was forbidden, due to the fear that lest Allah’s
portion might not be included in it along with the idols’ portion.
After all, the
astonishing thing was that they used to tell that these instructions were from
God - as He had commanded them to do so, and His willingness could be obtained
by doing so. These matters have been explained in this verse and commanded that
“He (Allah Almighty) will repay them for that which they invent”.
It is commanded that these
people say: These cattle, these crops are of the name of idols. Only they can
eat these things, to whom we permit. Every person cannot eat them. These entire
are their self-invented. They set some cattle free upon the name of idols that
nobody should sit on their backs and nor load any kind of weight upon them. And
they do not mention the name of Allah upon some cattle and say: Allah has
ordered all this to do so, which is entirely a lie. They find out something,
which does not belong to Allah Almighty. He will punish them due to their
telling a lie.
