The story of the cow and the naming of al-Baqara

Sha'rawi holds that al-Baqara takes its name from the story of the cow: a murdered man, struck with part of the cow, rose and named his killer, which he takes as proof of resurrection. He cites the verse at Al-Baqara 73. ^{1 2}

Sha'rawi tells of a righteous man who entrusted his cow to God; his son, grown up, found it and sold it for its hide's weight in gold, and he links this to the wall in al-Kahf. The details are Sha'rawi's own narration, not the text of the verses. ^{2 3}

This is Sha'rawi's reading and is attributed to him. The scan gives no commentary reports on the details of the murdered man, the cow or the righteous man, and none has been checked.
