Surah Ali 'Imran

۞ كُلُّ ٱلطَّعَامِ كَانَ حِلًّا لِّبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ إِلَّا مَا حَرَّمَ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ مِن قَبْلِ أَن تُنَزَّلَ ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةُ ۗ قُلْ فَأْتُوا۟ بِٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِ فَٱتْلُوهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

Kulluṭ-ṭa‘āmi kāna ḥillal libanī isrā'īla illā mā ḥarrama isrā'īlu ‘alā nafsihī min qabli an tunazzalat-taurāh(tu), qul fa'tū bit-taurāti fatlūhā in kuntum ṣādiqīn(a).
