Surah Al-An'am, ayah 138

6:138

وَقَالُواْ هَٰذِهِۦٓ أَنۡعَٰمٞ وَحَرۡثٌ حِجۡرٞ لَّا يَطۡعَمُهَآ إِلَّا مَن نَّشَآءُ بِزَعۡمِهِمۡ وَأَنۡعَٰمٌ حُرِّمَتۡ ظُهُورُهَا وَأَنۡعَٰمٞ لَّا يَذۡكُرُونَ ٱسۡمَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡهَا ٱفۡتِرَآءً عَلَيۡهِۚ سَيَجۡزِيهِم بِمَا كَانُواْ يَفۡتَرُونَ ١٣٨

Waqālū hādhihī an'āmun waharthun hijrul lā yat'amuhā illā man nashā'u biza'mihim wa an'āmun hurrimat zuhūruhā wa an'āmul lā yadhkurūnasmallāhi 'alayhaftirā'an 'alayhi sayajzīhim bimā kānū yaftarūn

And they say, "These animals349 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]350 and those upon which the name of Allāh is not mentioned351 - [all of this] an invention of untruth about Him.352 He will punish them for what they were inventing.
