Ibn Abbas Commentary

(Say) O Muhammad, to the people of Mecca: (Have ye considered what provision) what crops and cattle (Allah hath sent down for you) Allah has created for you, (how ye have made of it lawful) for men (and unlawful) for women: i.e. the benefit of al-Bahirah, al-Sa'ibah and al-Ham? (Say) to them, O Muhammad: (Hath Allah permitted you) has Allah commanded this, (or do ye invent a lie concerning Allah) indeed you are inventing lies?

Say ‘Have you considered inform me what provision God has revealed has created for you how you have made some of it unlawful and some lawful?’ as in the case of the camels called al-Bahīra or al-Sā’iba and carrion. Say ‘Has God given you permission to make that lawful or unlawful? No! Or do you nay you invent lies concerning God?’ by attributing that to Him.
