[Taken from Quranic verses from 17 to 25
of Surah Saad (38)] |
| And remember Our slave Dâwûd (David), endued with
power. |
| Verily, he was ever oft-returning in all matters and in
repentance (toward Allâh). Verily, We made the mountains to glorify Our Praises with him
[Dâwûd (David)] in the 'Ashi (i.e. after the mid-day till sunset) and Ishrâq (i.e.
after the sunrise till mid-day). And (so did) the birds assembled: all with him
[Dâwûd (David)] did turn (to Allâh i.e. glorified His Praises). We made his
kingdom strong and gave him Al-Hikmah (Prophethood, etc.) and sound judgement in
speech and decision. |
| And has the news of the litigants reached you? When they
climbed over the wall into (his) Mihrâb (a praying place or a private room). When
they entered in upon Dâwûd (David), he was terrified of them, they said: "Fear not!
(We are) two litigants, one of whom has wronged the other, therefore judge between us with
truth, and treat us not with injustice, and guide us to the Right Way. |
| Verily, this my brother (in religion)
has ninety nine ewes, while I have (only) one ewe, and he says: "Hand it over to me,
and he overpowered me in speech." |
| [Dâwûd (David)] said (immediately
without listening to the opponent): "He has wronged you in demanding your ewe in
addition to his ewes. And, verily, many partners oppress one another, except those who
believe and do righteous good deeds, and they are few." |
| And Dâwûd (David) guessed that We have tried him and
he sought Forgiveness of his Lord, and he fell down prostrate and turned (to Allâh) in
repentance. So We forgave him that, and verily, for him is a near access to Us, and a good
place of (final) return (Paradise). |
