دروغ بستن مشرکان به خدا

این دو آیه» بعضی از حیوانات حلال گوشت و بعضی از حیواناتی را که هم باربرند و هم برای تَعْدْیةٌ انسان مناسب‌اندء نام برده‌اند و چون حکم به حلال بودن یا حرام بودن این حیوانات» کار خداوندی است که آفرینندةٌ آنها و آفریدگار بشر و تمام جهان هستی استء بنابر این» ادعای حلال یا حرام بودن آنهاء یا باید از طریق گواهی عقل باشد» یا از راه وحی» یا حضور به هنگام صدور این فرمان در نزد پیامبر. در آَیةٌ ۱۴۳ تصریح شده که هیچ‌گونه دلیل علمی و عقلی برای تحریم این حیوانات در اختیار مشرکان نبود و چون آنها ادعای نبوت و وحی نیز نداشتند.ء بنابر این تنها این احتمال باقی می‌ماند که ادعا کنند به هنگام صدور این فرمان از سوی پیامبران الهی» حاضر و گواه بوده‌اند. از این رو در یه ۱۴۴ آمده است: «آیا شما شاهد و گواه ( این تحریم) بودید. هنگامی که خداوند شما را به این موضوع توصیه کرد؟!» چون جواب این سوّال منفی استء ثابت می‌شود که آنها جز تهمت و افترا در این باره سرمایه‌ای نداشتند.
