سُوْرَةُ الْاَنْعَامِ
Surah Al-An'aam (6) — Ayah 142
وَمِنَ ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ حَمُولَةً وَفَرْشًا ۚ كُلُوا۟ مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ ٱللَّهُ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا۟ خُطُوَٰتِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ ﴿142﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And of the cattle (are some) for burden (like camels) and (some are) small (unable to carry burden like sheep and goats - for food, meat, milk and wool). Eat of what Allâh has provided for you, and follow not the footsteps of Shaitân (Satan). Surely he is to you an open enemy.

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi
Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
(Ayah 142){ وَ مِنَ الْاَنْعَامِ حَمُوْلَةً وَّ فَرْشًا:} { ’’ حَمُوْلَةً ‘‘} Those upon whom burdens are placed, such as camels and oxen, and {’’ فَرْشًا ‘‘} refers to those close to the ground, like sheep and goats. (Muwaddih) As is clarified in the following verses. Although burdens are not placed on the back of an ox, they pull very heavy loads, and this is also referred to as bearing a burden. Allah Almighty has made these crops and cattle, which He has granted you, lawful for you; eat from them and do not follow Satan, by whose deception ignorant polytheists have declared many of these kinds unlawful, as mentioned above.
