وَقَالُوا۟ مَا فِى بُطُونِ هَٰذِهِ ٱلْأَنْعَٰمِ خَالِصَةٌ لِّذُكُورِنَا وَمُحَرَّمٌ عَلَىٰٓ أَزْوَٰجِنَا وَإِن يَكُن مَّيْتَةً فَهُمْ فِيهِ شُرَكَآءُ سَيَجْزِيهِمْ وَصْفَهُمْ إِنَّهُۥ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ 139
قَدْ خَسِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَتَلُوٓا۟ أَوْلَٰدَهُمْ سَفَهًۢا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَحَرَّمُوا۟ مَا رَزَقَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱفْتِرَآءً عَلَى ٱللَّهِ قَدْ ضَلُّوا۟ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُهْتَدِينَ 140

139. And they say: That which is in the
bellies of such cattle is reserved for our males and is forbidden to our
wives. And if it be born dead, then they (all) may be partakers thereof. He
will reward them for their attribution (of such ordinances unto Him) Lo, He
is Wise, Aware.
140. They are losers who besottedly have slain
their children without knowledge, and have forbidden that which Allah
bestowed upon them, inventing a lie against Allah. They indeed have gone
astray and are not guided.

Commentary
Wasfahum – (their attribution, saying by them), wasf means
to describe (to attribute). Here it aims “Dictation by them about the legal
(lawful) and the forbidden (unlawful).
In this verse,
another useless tradition of Idolaters has been explained. It is commanded that
they had some cattle which were set free in the name of idols, named as Bahiira,
Saaibah, etc. This matter has been discussed already in Surah
‘Al-Maaidah. If those cattle bring forth any calf, eating its meat is
forbidden for their women, and that is reserved only for their male members.
But if it is born dead, then they all (male and female persons) may be
partakers thereof (can eat its meat all together). If they are asked the reason
behind it, then they say that it is the command of Allah. Allah Almighty knows
that this attribution of theirs is a great blasphemy and He will punish them
for it.
After that, it is commanded
that entirely their sins are cause of their loss. First of all, they used to
kill their children due to ignorance and stupidity, either to sacrifice them
for the sake of idols, or because of the fear of poverty or disgrace and shame,
as some ignorant people used to think about the girls that they would be
married with other people, which would be disgraceful for them. And secondly,
making that food forbidden which is bestowed by Allah Almighty, and then,
telling a lie that Allah has made it forbidden. All these matters belong to
depravity certainly. Those People, who go on the right path, do not say so.
