The Koran (Al-Qur'an) SECTION III / SECTION IV. / SECTION V. / OF CERTAIN NEGATIVE PRECEPTS IN THE KORN.; lines 6172-6223 confidence: high
Several pagan Arab cattle customs are said to have been abolished by Mohammed; the Koran is said to mention Bahra, Sba, Wasla, and Hmi as names for camels or sheep left at liberty and not used like other cattle.
Bahra and Sba are described as camels or sheep marked or specially designated, then left at liberty and exempted from ordinary uses such as riding, milking, or being driven from pasture and water.
