(118) وَ عَلَى الَّذينَ هادُوا حَرَّمْنا ما قَصَصْنا عَلَيْكَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ
ما ظَلَمْناهُمْ وَ لكِنْ كانُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ 118. " And for those who were Jews, We prohibited what We have already
related to you. And We did them no injustice, but they were unjust to
themselves.
Commentary:
A question may be raised in here as to why, besides the above- mentioned
four things, other forbidden things from animals were also prohibited for the
Jewish nation ? This verse, dealing apparently with this issue, proclaims:
" And for those who were Jews, We prohibited what We have already
related to you. ..."
Here is allusion made to verse 146 of Sura Al- An'am which implies that Allah
prohibited every nailed animal for the Jews (allusion is here made to those
animals like horses which possess single all- spreading bars in their palm of
their feet such as horse) , and Allah prohibited them from eating the fat of
cows and sheep except all the fat which they carry on their back, or that which
is found in- between their stomach intestines, their lateral sides or is mixed
with their bones. Allah did that for the punishment of their cruel behavior and
He is true. (1)
(1) This verse (146) in the Qur'an says: "And those who were Jews We forbade
every (animal) having claws, and of oxen and sheep unto them the fat of both,
save what is upon their backs or the entrails or what is mixed with bones. This
(prohibition) We recompensed them for their rebellion, and verily we are
truthful. "
