For every nation have we appointed a habit, that they may mention the name of Allah over the fiend of cattle that he hath given them for food; and your God is One God, therefore surrender unto Him. And give good word (Muhammad) to the humble. Whose hearts fear when Allah is mentioned, and the patient of whatever may befall them, and those who establish worship and who spend of that we have bestowed on them. And the camels! We have appointed them among the ceremonies of Allah. Therein ye have much good. So mention the name of Allah over them when they are drawn up in lines. Then when their flanks fall (dead), eat thereof and feed the beggar and the suppliant. Thus have we made them subject unto you, that haply ye may give thanks. Their flesh and their blood reach not Allah, but the devotion from you reached him. Thus have we made them subject unto you that you may magnify Allah that He hath guided you. And give good tidings (0 Muhammad) to the good.
