Be patient

over

what

they say

and remember

Our slave

Dawood

the possessor of strength

the possessor of strength

Indeed, he (was)

repeatedly turning

Indeed, We

subjected

the mountains

with him

glorifying

in the evening

and [the] sunrise

And the birds

assembled

all

with him

repeatedly turning

And We strengthened

his kingdom

and We gave him

[the] wisdom

and decisive

speech

And has (there)

come to you

(the) news

(of) the litigants

when

they climbed over the wall

(of) the chamber

When

they entered

upon

Dawood

and he was afraid

of them

they said

(Do) not

fear

(We are) two litigants

has wronged

one of us

to

another

so judge

between us

in truth

and (do) not

be unjust

and guide us

to

an even

[the] path

Indeed

this

(is) my brother

he has

ninety-nine

ninety-nine

ewe(s)

while I have

ewe

one

so he said

Entrust her to me

and he overpowered me

in

[the] speech

He said

Certainly

he has wronged you

by demanding

your ewe

to

his ewes

And indeed

many

of

the partners

certainly oppress

some of them

[on]

another

except

those who

believe

and do

righteous deeds

and few

(are) they

(are) they

And became certain

Dawood

that

We (had) tried him

and he asked forgiveness

(of) his Lord

and fell down

bowing

and turned in repentance

So We forgave

for him

that

And indeed

for him

with Us

surely is a near access

and a good

place of return

O Dawood

Indeed, We

[We] have made you

a vicegerent

in

the earth

so judge

between

[the] men

in truth

and (do) not

follow

the desire

for it will lead you astray

from

(the) way

(of) Allah

Indeed

those who

go astray

from

(the) way

(of) Allah

for them

(is) a punishment

severe

because

they forgot

(the) Day

(of) Account
