we never heard of this in the former religion. it is nothing but an invention. (7)
مَا سَمِعْنَا بِهَذَا فِي الْمِلَّةِ الْآخِرَةِ إِنْ هَذَا إِلَّا اخْتِلَاقٌ ﴿7﴾
what, out of all of us, has the remembrance been sent down to him (prophet muhammad)? ' no, they are doubtful about my remembrance, no, they have not yet tasted my punishment. (8)
أَأُنزِلَ عَلَيْهِ الذِّكْرُ مِن بَيْنِنَا بَلْ هُمْ فِي شَكٍّ مِّن ذِكْرِي بَلْ لَمَّا يَذُوقُوا عَذَابِ ﴿8﴾

we subjected the mountains to exalt (me) with him in the evening and at sunrise, (18)

وَشَدَدْنَا مُلْكَهُ وَآتَيْنَاهُ الْحِكْمَةَ وَفَصْلَ الْخِطَابِ ﴿20﴾
has the news of the dispute reached you (prophet muhammad)? when they scaled the sanctuary (21)
وَهَلْ أَتَاكَ نَبَأُ الْخَصْمِ إِذْ تَسَوَّرُوا الْمِحْرَابَ ﴿21﴾
they went to david whereupon he was afraid of them, but they said: 'do not be afraid, we are two that have a dispute, one of us has wronged the other. judge between us justly, and do not transgress, and guide us to the right path. (22)
إِذْ دَخَلُوا عَلَى دَاوُودَ فَفَزِعَ مِنْهُمْ قَالُوا لَا تَخَفْ خَصْمَانِ بَغَى بَعْضُنَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ فَاحْكُم بَيْنَنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا تُشْطِطْ وَاهْدِنَا إِلَى سَوَاء الصِّرَاطِ ﴿22﴾

إِنَّ هَذَا أَخِي لَهُ تِسْعٌ وَتِسْعُونَ نَعْجَةً وَلِيَ نَعْجَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ فَقَالَ أَكْفِلْنِيهَا وَعَزَّنِي فِي الْخِطَابِ ﴿23﴾
he (david) replied: 'he has without doubt wronged you in seeking to add your ewe to his sheep. many intermixers wrong one another; except those who believe, and do good works, and they are few indeed. ' david realized that we had tried him and sought the forgiveness of his lord and fell down, prostrate and repented. (24)
قَالَ لَقَدْ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعْجَتِكَ إِلَى نِعَاجِهِ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِّنْ الْخُلَطَاء لَيَبْغِي بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَقَلِيلٌ مَّا هُمْ وَظَنَّ دَاوُودُ أَنَّمَا فَتَنَّاهُ فَاسْتَغْفَرَ رَبَّهُ وَخَرَّ رَاكِعًا وَأَنَابَ ﴿24﴾
so, we forgave him that, and he has a near place with us and a fine return. (25)
فَغَفَرْنَا لَهُ ذَلِكَ وَإِنَّ لَهُ عِندَنَا لَزُلْفَى وَحُسْنَ مَآبٍ ﴿25﴾
(we said): 'david, we have made you a caliph in the earth. judge with justice among people and do not yield to your own preference in case it should lead you from the path of allah. surely, a terrible punishment awaits those who stray from the path of allah, because they forget the day of reckoning. ' (26)
يَا دَاوُودُ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاكَ خَلِيفَةً فِي الْأَرْضِ فَاحْكُم بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ الْهَوَى فَيُضِلَّكَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ بِمَا نَسُوا يَوْمَ الْحِسَابِ ﴿26﴾
it was not in falsehood that we created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. that is the thought of the unbelievers. but woe to the unbelievers because of the fire! (27)
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاء وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا بَاطِلًا ذَلِكَ ظَنُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنَ النَّارِ ﴿27﴾
are we to make those who believe and do good works the same as those who corrupt the earth? are we to make the righteous as the wicked? (28)
أَمْ نَجْعَلُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ كَالْمُفْسِدِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَمْ نَجْعَلُ الْمُتَّقِينَ كَالْفُجَّارِ ﴿28﴾
it is a blessed book that we have sent down to you (prophet muhammad), so that those possessed with minds might ponder its verses and remember. (29)
كِتَابٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَارَكٌ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوا آيَاتِهِ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُوْلُوا الْأَلْبَابِ ﴿29﴾
we gave solomon to david; and he was an excellent worshiper, he was penitent. (30)
وَوَهَبْنَا لِدَاوُودَ سُلَيْمَانَ نِعْمَ الْعَبْدُ إِنَّهُ أَوَّابٌ ﴿30﴾
