102. قَدْ سَأَلَهَا قَوْمٌ مِّن قَبْلِكُمْ
ثُمَّ أَصْبَحُوا۟ بِهَا كَٰفِرِينَ
103. مَا جَعَلَ
ٱللَّهُ مِنۢ بَحِيرَةٍ وَلَا سَآئِبَةٍ وَلَا وَصِيلَةٍ وَلَا حَامٍ ۙ
وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ ۖ
وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ
102. A folk before you asked (for such disclosers) and
then disbelieved therein.
103. Allah hath not
appointed anything in the nature of a Bahirah or a Sa’ibah or a Wasilah or a Ham’i,
but those who disbelieve invent a lie against Allah. And most of them have no sense.

Commentary
Allah Almighty commands that
there was a folk before you, who asked about such disclosers, which were not
made unlawful clearly, when they were replied then they knew that it was
difficult to act upon them, so they denied from believing into them.
At
first, they met with difficulty due to asking the commandment about such a
matter, which was left only for their easiness. Secondly, when they were bidden
to do as commanded, they felt trouble in its procedure compliance and refused
to obey this order, and became disbelievers.
In
the second verse, it has been forbidden from another absurd tradition of the
idolaters, due to which, such lawful things were used to make unlawful by them,
which were not made unlawful by Allah Almighty.
For example; they used to give up drinking the milk of any animal and say that
it was appointed on the name of so and so idol. Only that particular idol was
authorized to reap advantage from those ‘left free’ animals, as nowadays too,
any male buffalo, bull or stallion etc. is set free.
These
animals had separate names. The Bahirah was a female
camel whose ears were cut; one did not use to allow his wife, daughters, or any
of his household to benefit from its wool, hair or milk. But, if it died, they used
to share it. The Sa'ibah was a female
camel, let loose for free pasture for the idols, and nothing was allowed to be
carried on it. As for the Wasilah, it was the female camel that
gives birth to twelve offspring females without any male camel’s birth in
between the twelve. When female camel delivered for the thirteenth time, they used
to cut its ears and say, it has Wasalat (connected
deliveries),' and they did neither use it, nor hit it and nor prevent it from
drinking from any pool. Ham’i was the male
buffalo, bull or stallion etc. which was father of many offspring.
This
all was done to please the idols, but along with it, they used to say too that Allah is also pleased due to these
deeds. It is commanded that Allah Almighty has
not appointed anything in this nature (as explained above). They invent a lie
and most of them have no sense, who say it the order of Allah Almighty.
