Surat Al Baqarah (70-71)


{ قَالُواْ ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُبَيِّن لَّنَا مَا هِيَ إِنَّ البَقَرَ تَشَابَهَ عَلَيْنَا وَإِنَّا إِن شَاء اللَّهُ لَمُهْتَدُونَ } [البقرة: 70]

70- Again, they asked and said: O Prophet, ask your Lord to tell us exactly what its descriptions are, and if He does do that, we will be guided.


{ قَالَ إِنَّهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّهَا بَقَرَةٌ لاَّ ذَلُولٌ تُثِيرُ الأَرْضَ وَلاَ تَسْقِي الْحَرْثَ مُسَلَّمَةٌ لاَّ شِيَةَ فِيهَا قَالُواْ الآنَ جِئْتَ بِالْحَقِّ فَذَبَحُوهَا وَمَا كَادُواْ يَفْعَلُونَ } [البقرة: 71]

71- Moses said to them: Allah says: It is a cow made ready for farming the land, not made for carrying water, but it is honored and well-cared of, sound without faults and nothing stains its yellow color. They said: Now, you have explained to us. So, they slaughtered the cow and almost they did after that explanation!
