5:103

مَا جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ مِنۢ بَحِيرَةٍ وَلَا سَآئِبَةٍ وَلَا وَصِيلَةٍ وَلَا حَامٍ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يَفْتَرُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ وَأَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْقِلُونَ

Why this meaning was chosen

The sole occurrence is coordinated with three other named categories that God is said not to have instituted. Because the Quranic verse does not define its membership rule, transliteration avoids importing an external ritual description; the active-participle analysis is retained morphologically.
