Saad
اِصۡبِرۡ عَلٰي مَا يَقُوۡلُوۡنَ وَاذۡكُرۡ عَبۡدَنَا دَاوٗدَ ذَا الۡاَيۡدِۚ اِنَّهٗ٘ اَوَّابٌ
Be patient over what they say and remember Our servant, David, the possessor of strength; indeed, he was one who repeatedly turned back [to Allah]
اِنَّا سَخَّرۡنَا الۡجِبَالَ مَعَهٗ يُسَبِّحۡنَ بِالۡعَشِيِّ وَالۡاِشۡرَاقِۙ
Indeed, We subjected the mountains [to praise] with him, exalting [Allah] in the [late] afternoon and [after] sunrise
وَالطَّيۡرَ مَحۡشُوۡرَةًؕ كُلٌّ لَّهٗ٘ اَوَّابٌ
And the birds were assembled, all with him repeating [praises]
وَشَدَدۡنَا مُلۡكَهٗ وَاٰتَيۡنٰهُ الۡحِكۡمَةَ وَفَصۡلَ الۡخِطَابِ
And We strengthened his kingdom and gave him wisdom and discernment in speech
وَهَلۡ اَتٰىكَ نَبَؤُا الۡخَصۡمِۘ اِذۡ تَسَوَّرُوا الۡمِحۡرَابَۙ
And has there come to you the news of the adversaries, when they climbed over the wall of [his] prayer chamber
اِذۡ دَخَلُوۡا عَلٰي دَاوٗدَ فَفَزِعَ مِنۡهُمۡ قَالُوۡا لَا تَخَفۡۚ خَصۡمٰنِ بَغٰي بَعۡضُنَا عَلٰي بَعۡضٍ فَاحۡكُمۡ بَيۡنَنَا بِالۡحَقِّ وَلَا تُشۡطِطۡ وَاهۡدِنَا٘ اِلٰي سَوَآءِ الصِّرَاطِ
When they entered upon David and he was alarmed by them? They said, "Fear not. [We are] two adversaries, one of whom has wronged the other, so judge between us with truth and do not exceed [it] and guide us to the sound path
اِنَّ هٰذَا٘ اَخِيۡࣞ لَهٗ تِسۡعٌ وَّتِسۡعُوۡنَ نَعۡجَةً وَّلِيَ نَعۡجَةٌ وَّاحِدَةٌࣞ فَقَالَ اَكۡفِلۡنِيۡهَا وَعَزَّنِيۡ فِي الۡخِطَابِ
Indeed this, my brother, has ninety-nine ewes, and I have one ewe; so he said, 'Entrust her to me,' and he overpowered me in speech
قَالَ لَقَدۡ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعۡجَتِكَ اِلٰي نِعَاجِهٖؕ وَاِنَّ كَثِيۡرًا مِّنَ الۡخُلَطَآءِ لَيَبۡغِيۡ بَعۡضُهُمۡ عَلٰي بَعۡضٍ اِلَّا الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَعَمِلُوا الصّٰلِحٰتِ وَقَلِيۡلٌ مَّا هُمۡؕ وَظَنَّ دَاوٗدُ اَنَّمَا فَتَنّٰهُ فَاسۡتَغۡفَرَ رَبَّهٗ وَخَرَّ رَاكِعًا وَّاَنَابَࣛ
[David] said, "He has certainly wronged you in demanding your ewe [in addition] to his ewes. And indeed, many associates oppress one another, except for those who believe and do righteous deeds - and few are they." And David became certain that We had tried him, and he asked forgiveness of his Lord and fell down bowing [in prostration] and turned in repentance [to Allah]
فَغَفَرۡنَا لَهٗ ذٰلِكَؕ وَاِنَّ لَهٗ عِنۡدَنَا لَزُلۡفٰي وَحُسۡنَ مَاٰبٍ
So We forgave him that; and indeed, for him is nearness to Us and a good place of return
يٰدَاوٗدُ اِنَّا جَعَلۡنٰكَ خَلِيۡفَةً فِي الۡاَرۡضِ فَاحۡكُمۡ بَيۡنَ النَّاسِ بِالۡحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ الۡهَوٰي فَيُضِلَّكَ عَنۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِؕ اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ يَضِلُّوۡنَ عَنۡ سَبِيۡلِ اللّٰهِ لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ شَدِيۡدٌۭ بِمَا نَسُوۡا يَوۡمَ الۡحِسَابِࣖ
[We said], "O David, indeed We have made you a successor upon the earth, so judge between the people in truth and do not follow [your own] desire, as it will lead you astray from the way of Allah." Indeed, those who go astray from the way of Allah will have a severe punishment for having forgotten the Day of Account
