Surah Al-Mai'dah (The Spread Table), Verse 4

یَسْـَٔلُوْنَكَ مَاذَاۤ اُحِلَّ لَهُمْ قُلْ اُحِلَّ لَكُمُ الطَّیِّبٰتُ وَمَا عَلَّمْتُمْ مِّنَ الْجَوَارِحِ مُكَلِّبِیْنَ تُعَلِّمُوْنَهُنَّ مِمَّا عَلَّمَكُمُ اللّٰهُ فَكُلُوْا مِمَّاۤ اَمْسَكْنَ عَلَیْكُمْ وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْهِ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ سَرِیْعُ الْحِسَابِ ۟

They ask thee what is lawful to them (as food). Say: lawful unto you are (all) things good and pure: and what ye have taught your trained hunting animals (to catch) in the manner directed to you by Allah: eat what they catch for you, but pronounce the name of Allah over it: and fear Allah; for Allah is swift in taking account.
