Tafsir jalalayn

God it is Who made for you cattle -- it is said that `camels' are specifically meant here, even though it seems to signify cows and sheep also -- that you may ride some of them and eat of some.

Tafseer Ibn Kathir

The Cattle are also a Blessing from Allah and a Sign from Him

An`am﴾ for them, which refers to camels, cows and sheep; some of them they ride and some of them they eat. Camels may be ridden or eaten; their milk is drunk and they are used for carrying heavy burdens on journeys to distant lands. Cattle are eaten and their milk is drunk; they are also used for plowing the earth. Sheep are eaten and their milk is also drunk. The hair and wool of all of these animals is used to make tents, clothing and furnishings, as we have already discussed in Surah Al-An`am and Surah An-Nahl, etc.

Allah says here;

اللَّهُ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الاَْنْعَامَ لِتَرْكَبُوا مِنْهَا وَمِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ



وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَنَافِعُ وَلِتَبْلُغُوا عَلَيْهَا حَاجَةً فِي صُدُورِكُمْ وَعَلَيْهَا وَعَلَى الْفُلْكِ تُحْمَلُونَ
