[Machine] According to his saying: "And the animals, We have made them among the symbols of Allah for you; in them is good. So mention the name of Allah upon them, lined up in rows. And when their flanks fall down, eat from them and feed the contented and the beggar. Thus have We subjected them to you that you may be grateful. Their meat will not reach Allah, nor will their blood, but what reaches Him is piety from you. Thus have We subjected them to you that you may glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and give good tidings to the doers of good."

Mujahid said: "The bodies were named because of their meat. The contented refers to the one who asks, and the beggar refers to the one who asks from the bodies, whether rich or poor. And the symbols are the recognition and appreciation of the bodies. And the emancipated is the one who is freed from the bonds of slavery.

And it is said that the fall (wajabat) refers to falling to the ground, and from it comes wajabat ash-shams (the sunset)."

لِقَوْلِهِ: {وَالْبُدْنَ جَعَلْنَاهَا لَكُمْ مِنْ شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ لَكُمْ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ فَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا صَوَافَّ فَإِذَا وَجَبَتْ جُنُوبُهَا فَكُلُوا مِنْهَا وَأَطْعِمُوا الْقَانِعَ وَالْمُعْتَرَّ كَذَلِكَ سَخَّرْنَاهَا لَكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ لَنْ يَنَالَ اللَّهَ لُحُومُهَا وَلاَ دِمَاؤُهَا وَلَكِنْ يَنَالُهُ التَّقْوَى مِنْكُمْ كَذَلِكَ سَخَّرَهَا لَكُمْ لِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلَى مَا هَدَاكُمْ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُحْسِنِينَ}. قَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ سُمِّيَتِ الْبُدْنَ لِبُدْنِهَا. وَالْقَانِعُ السَّائِلُ، وَالْمُعْتَرُّ الَّذِي يَعْتَرُّ بِالْبُدْنِ مِنْ غَنِيٍّ أَوْ فَقِيرٍ، وَشَعَائِرُ اسْتِعْظَامُ الْبُدْنِ وَاسْتِحْسَانُهَا، وَالْعَتِيقُ عِتْقُهُ مِنَ الْجَبَابِرَةِ، وَيُقَالُ وَجَبَتْ سَقَطَتْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَمِنْهُ وَجَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ.
