quran:2:71 –

He said, "He says, 'It is a cow neither trained to plow the earth nor to irrigate the field, one free from fault with no spot upon her.' " They said, "Now you have come with the truth." So they slaughtered her, but they could hardly do it.  

He said, ‘He says she shall be a cow not broken, not subdued for labour, that is, to plough the earth, churning its soil for sowing (tuthīr al-ard: the clause describes the word dhalūl, and constitutes part of the negation); or to water the tillage, that is, the land prepared for sowing; one safe, from faults and the effects of toil; with no blemish, of a colour other than her own, on her’. They said, ‘Now you have brought the truth’, that is, ˹now˺ you have explained it clearly; they thus sought it out and found it with a boy very dutiful towards his mother, and they eventually purchased it for the equivalent of its weight in gold; and so they sacrificed her, even though they very nearly did not, on account of its excessive cost. In a hadīth ˹it is stated that˺, ‘Had they sacrificed any cow, it would have sufficed them, but they made it difficult for themselves and so God made it difficult for them’.
القرآن:٢:٧١ –

قَالَ إِنَّهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّهَا بَقَرَةٌ لَا ذَلُولٌ تُثِيرُ الْأَرْضَ وَلَا تَسْقِي الْحَرْثَ مُسَلَّمَةٌ لَا شِيَةَ فِيهَا ۚ قَالُوا الْآنَ جِئْتَ بِالْحَقِّ ۚ فَذَبَحُوهَا وَمَا كَادُوا يَفْعَلُونَ  

{قال إنه يقول إنها بقرة لا ذلول} غير مذللة بالعمل {تثير الأرض} تقلبها للزراعة والجملة صفة ذلول داخلة في النهي {ولا تسقي الحرث} الأرض المهيأة للزراعة {مسلمة} من العيوب وآثار العمل {لا شية} لون {فيها} غير لونها {قالوا الآن جئت بالحق} نطقت بالبيان التام فطلبوها فوجدوها عند الفتى البار بأمه فاشتروها بملء مسكها ذهبا {فذبحوها وما كادوا يفعلون} لغلاء ثمنها وفي الحديث: (لو ذبحوا أي بقرة كانت لأجزأتهم ولكن شددوا على أنفسهم فشدد الله عليهم).
