An-Nahl · Ayah 116 · Juz 14 · Page 280

وَلَا تَقُولُواْ لِمَا تَصِفُ أَلۡسِنَتُكُمُ ٱلۡكَذِبَ هَٰذَا حَلَٰلٞ وَهَٰذَا حَرَامٞ لِّتَفۡتَرُواْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَۚ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ يَفۡتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡكَذِبَ لَا يُفۡلِحُونَ ١١٦

Wa lā taqūlū limā taṣifu alsinatukumul-kadhiba hādhā ḥalāluw wa hādhā ḥarāmul litaftarū ʿalallāhil-kadhib, innal-ladhīna yaftarūna ʿalallāhil-kadhiba lā yufliḥūn.

And do not say about what your tongues assert of untruth, "This is lawful and this is unlawful," to invent falsehood about Allāh. Indeed, those who invent falsehood about Allāh will not succeed.
