2:71
قَالَ إِنَّه ُُ يَقُولُ إِنَّهَا بَقَرَة ٌ لاَ ذَلُول ٌ تُثِيرُ الأَرْضَ وَلاَ تَسْقِي الْحَرْثَ مُسَلَّمَة ٌ لاَ شِيَةَ فِيهَا قَالُوا الآنَ جِئْتَ بِالْحَقِّ فَذَبَحُوهَا وَمَا كَادُوا يَفْعَلُونَ
Qāla 'Innahu Yaqūlu 'Innahā Baqaratun Lā Dhalūlun Tuthīru Al-'ArĐa Wa Lā Tasqī Al-Ĥartha Musallamatun Lā Shiyata Fīhā Qālū Al-'Āna Ji'ta Bil-Ĥaqqi Fadhabaĥūhā Wa Mā Kādū Yaf`alūna
He said: "He says it is a heifer which was never subjugated to plough the land, or water the crops, free from any blemish." They said: "Now you have come with the truth." And they slaughtered it, though they had nearly not done so.
2:205
وَإِذَا تَوَلَّى سَعَى فِي الأَرْضِ لِيُفْسِدَ فِيهَا وَيُهْلِكَ الْحَرْثَ وَالنَّسْلَ وَاللَّهُ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْفَسَادَ
Wa 'Idhā Tawallá Sa`á Fī Al-'ArĐi Liyufsida Fīhā Wa Yuhlika Al-Ĥartha Wa An-Nasla Wa Allāhu Lā Yuĥibbu Al-Fasāda
And if he gains power, he seeks to corrupt the earth and destroy its crops, and the lineage. God does not love corruption.
2:223
نِسَاؤُكُمْ حَرْث ٌ لَكُمْ فَأْتُوا حَرْثَكُمْ أَنَّى شِئْتُمْ وَقَدِّمُوا لِأنفُسِكُمْ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّكُمْ مُلاَقُوه ُُ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Nisā'uukum Ĥarthun Lakum Fa'tū Ĥarthakum 'Anná Shi'tum Wa Qaddimū Li'nfusikum Wa Attaqū Allāha Wa A`lamū 'Annakum Mulāqūhu Wa Bashshiri Al-Mu'uminīna
Your women are a cultivation for you. So approach your cultivation as you wish towards goodness. And be aware of God and know that you will meet Him, and give good news to the believers.
2:223

3:14
زُيِّنَ لِلنَّاسِ حُبُّ الشَّهَوَاتِ مِنَ النِسَاء وَالْبَنِينَ وَالْقَنَاطِيرِ الْمُقَنْطَرَةِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ وَالْخَيْلِ الْمُسَوَّمَةِ وَالأَنعَامِ وَالْحَرْثِ ذَلِكَ مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَاللَّهُ عِنْدَه ُُ حُسْنُ الْمَآبِ

It has been adorned for people to love the desire of women, and sons, and ornaments made from gold and silver, and trained horses, and livestock, and fields. These are the enjoyment of the world, and with God is the best abode.
3:117
مَثَلُ مَا يُنْفِقُونَ فِي هَذِهِ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا كَمَثَلِ رِيح ٍ فِيهَا صِرٌّ أَصَابَتْ حَرْثَ قَوْم ٍ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ فَأَهْلَكَتْهُ وَمَا ظَلَمَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَلَكِنْ أَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ

The example of what they spend in this world is like a wind in which there is a frost; it afflicts the field of the people who wronged themselves, and thus destroys it. God did not wrong them, but it was their souls that they wronged.
6:136
وَجَعَلُوا لِلَّهِ مِمَّا ذَرَأَ مِنَ الْحَرْثِ وَالأَنعَام نَصِيبا ً فَقَالُوا هَذَا لِلَّهِ بِزَعْمِهِمْ وَهَذَا لِشُرَكَائِنَا فَمَا كَانَ لِشُرَكَائِهِمْ فَلاَ يَصِلُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَمَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ فَهُوَ يَصِلُ إِلَى شُرَكَائِهِمْ سَاءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ
Wa Ja`alū Lillāhi Mimmā Dhara'a Mina Al-Ĥarthi Wa Al-'An`ām Naşībāan Faqālū Hādhā Lillāhi Biza`mihim Wa Hadhā Lishurakā'inā Famā Kāna Lishurakā'ihim Falā Yaşilu 'Ilá Allāhi Wa Mā Kāna Lillāhi Fahuwa Yaşilu 'Ilá Shurakā'ihim Sā'a Mā Yaĥkumūna
And they made for God a portion of what He provided them from the crops and the livestock; they said: "This is for God," by their claims, "And this is for our partners." So what was for their partners did not reach God, and what was for God, it reached their partners! Miserable is how they judged.
6:138
وَقَالُوا هَذِهِ~ِ أَنْعَام ٌ وَحَرْثٌ حِجْر ٌ لاَ يَطْعَمُهَا إِلاَّ مَنْ نَشَاءُ بِزَعْمِهِمْ وَأَنْعَامٌ حُرِّمَتْ ظُهُورُهَا وَأَنْعَام ٌ لاَ يَذْكُرُونَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا افْتِرَاءً عَلَيْهِ سَيَجْزِيهِمْ بِمَا كَانُوا يَفْتَرُونَ

And they said: "These livestock and crops are reserved, and none shall eat from them except as we please," by their claims; and livestock whose backs are unlawful, and livestock over which they do not mention the name of God as an innovation against Him. He will recompense them for what they invented.
21:78
وَدَاوُودَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ إِذْ يَحْكُمَانِ فِي الْحَرْثِ إِذْ نَفَشَتْ فِيه ِِ غَنَمُ الْقَوْمِ وَكُنَّا لِحُكْمِهِمْ شَاهِدِينَ
Wa Dāwūda Wa Sulaymāna 'Idh Yaĥkumāni Fī Al-Ĥarthi 'Idh Nafashat Fīhi Ghanamu Al-Qawmi Wa Kunnā Liĥukmihim Shāhidīna
And David and Solomon, when they gave judgment in the case of the crop that was damaged by the sheep of the people, and We were witness to their judgment.
42:20
مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيدُ حَرْثَ الآخِرَةِ نَزِدْ لَه ُُ فِي حَرْثِه ِِ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُرِيدُ حَرْثَ الدُّنْيَا نُؤتِه ِِ مِنْهَا وَمَا لَه ُُ فِي الآخِرَةِ مِنْ نَصِيب ٍ
