Surah Al-An'am

وَعَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوا۟ حَرَّمْنَا كُلَّ ذِى ظُفُرٍ ۖ وَمِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ وَٱلْغَنَمِ حَرَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ شُحُومَهُمَآ إِلَّا مَا حَمَلَتْ ظُهُورُهُمَآ أَوِ ٱلْحَوَايَآ أَوْ مَا ٱخْتَلَطَ بِعَظْمٍ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ جَزَيْنَـٰهُم بِبَغْيِهِمْ ۖ وَإِنَّا لَصَـٰدِقُونَ

Wa ‘alal-lażīna hādū ḥarramnā kulla żī ẓufur(in), wa minal-baqari wal-ganami ḥarramnā ‘alaihim syuḥūmahumā illā mā ḥamalat ẓuhūruhumā awil-ḥawāyā au makhtalaṭa bi‘aẓm(in), żālika jazaināhum bibagyihim, wa innā laṣādiqūn(a).

And to those who are Jews We prohibited every animal of uncloven hoof; and of the cattle and the sheep We prohibited to them their fat, except what adheres to their backs or the entrails or what is joined with bone. [By] that We repaid them for their injustice. And indeed, We are truthful.
