    Wa hal ataaka naba'ul khasm; iz tasawwarul mihraab

    And has there come to you the news of the adversaries, when they climbed over the wall of [his] prayer chamber -

  22. 38:22

    إِذْدَخَلُوا۟عَلَىٰدَاوُۥدَفَفَزِعَمِنْهُمْ ۖقَالُوا۟لَاتَخَفْ ۖخَصْمَانِبَغَىٰبَعْضُنَاعَلَىٰبَعْضٍۢفَٱحْكُمبَيْنَنَابِٱلْحَقِّوَلَاتُشْطِطْوَٱهْدِنَآإِلَىٰسَوَآءِٱلصِّرَٰطِ٢٢

    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.

  23. 38:23

    إِنَّهَـٰذَآأَخِىلَهُۥتِسْعٌۭوَتِسْعُونَنَعْجَةًۭوَلِىَنَعْجَةٌۭوَٰحِدَةٌۭفَقَالَأَكْفِلْنِيهَاوَعَزَّنِىفِىٱلْخِطَابِ٢٣

    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."

    [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].

  25. 38:25

    فَغَفَرْنَالَهُۥذَٰلِكَ ۖوَإِنَّلَهُۥعِندَنَالَزُلْفَىٰوَحُسْنَمَـَٔابٍۢ٢٥

    Faghafarnaa lahoo zaalik; wa inna lahoo 'indanaa lazulfaa wa husna ma aab

    So We forgave him that; and indeed, for him is nearness to Us and a good place of return.

  26. 38:26

    Yaa Daawoodu innaa ja'alnaaka khaleefatan fil ardi fahkum bainan naasi bilhaqqi wa laa tattabi'il hawaa fayudillaka 'an sabeelil laah; innal lazeena yadilloona 'an sabeelil laah; lahum 'azaabun shadeedum bimaa nasoo Yawmal Hisaab

    [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.

  27. 38:27

    وَمَاخَلَقْنَاٱلسَّمَآءَوَٱلْأَرْضَوَمَابَيْنَهُمَابَـٰطِلًۭا ۚذَٰلِكَظَنُّٱلَّذِينَكَفَرُوا۟ ۚفَوَيْلٌۭلِّلَّذِينَكَفَرُوا۟مِنَٱلنَّارِ٢٧

    Wa ma khalaqnas samaaa'a wal arda wa maa bainahumaa baatilaa; zaalika zannul lazeena kafaroo; fawi lul lillazeena kafaroo minan Naar

    And We did not create the heaven and the earth and that between them aimlessly. That is the assumption of those who disbelieve, so woe to those who disbelieve from the Fire.

  28. 38:28

    أَمْنَجْعَلُٱلَّذِينَءَامَنُوا۟وَعَمِلُوا۟ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِكَٱلْمُفْسِدِينَفِىٱلْأَرْضِأَمْنَجْعَلُٱلْمُتَّقِينَكَٱلْفُجَّارِ٢٨

    Am naj'alul lazeena aamanoo wa 'amilus saalihaati kalmufisdeena fil ardi am naj'alul muttaqeena kalfujjaar

    Or should we treat those who believe and do righteous deeds like corrupters in the land? Or should We treat those who fear Allah like the wicked?

  29. 38:29

    كِتَـٰبٌأَنزَلْنَـٰهُإِلَيْكَمُبَـٰرَكٌۭلِّيَدَّبَّرُوٓا۟ءَايَـٰتِهِۦوَلِيَتَذَكَّرَأُو۟لُوا۟ٱلْأَلْبَـٰبِ٢٩

    Kitaabun anzalnaahu ilaika mubaarakul liyaddabbarooo Aayaatihee wa liyatazakkara ulul albaab

    [This is] a blessed Book which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], that they might reflect upon its verses and that those of understanding would be reminded.

  30. 38:30

    وَوَهَبْنَالِدَاوُۥدَسُلَيْمَـٰنَ ۚنِعْمَٱلْعَبْدُ ۖإِنَّهُۥٓأَوَّابٌ٣٠

    Wa wahabnaa li Daawooda Sulaimaan; ni'mal 'abd; innahoo awwaab

    And to David We gave Solomon. An excellent servant, indeed he was one repeatedly turning back [to Allah].

  31. 38:31

    Iz 'urida 'alaihi bil'ashiy yis saafinaatul jiyaad

    [Mention] when there were exhibited before him in the afternoon the poised [standing] racehorses.

  32. 38:32

    فَقَالَإِنِّىٓأَحْبَبْتُحُبَّٱلْخَيْرِعَنذِكْرِرَبِّىحَتَّىٰتَوَارَتْبِٱلْحِجَابِ٣٢

    Faqaala inneee ahbabtu hubbal khairi 'an zikri Rabbee hattaa tawaarat bilhijaab

    And he said, "Indeed, I gave preference to the love of good [things] over the remembrance of my Lord until the sun disappeared into the curtain [of darkness]."

  33. 38:33

    Ruddoohaa 'alaiya fatafiqa masham bissooqi wal a'naaq

    [He said], "Return them to me," and set about striking [their] legs and necks.

  34. 38:34

    وَلَقَدْفَتَنَّاسُلَيْمَـٰنَوَأَلْقَيْنَاعَلَىٰكُرْسِيِّهِۦجَسَدًۭاثُمَّأَنَابَ٣٤

    Wa laqad fatannaa Sulaimaana wa alqainaa 'alaa kursiyyihee jasadan summa anaab

    And We certainly tried Solomon and placed on his throne a body; then he returned.

  35. 38:35

    قَالَرَبِّٱغْفِرْلِىوَهَبْلِىمُلْكًۭالَّايَنۢبَغِىلِأَحَدٍۢمِّنۢبَعْدِىٓ ۖإِنَّكَأَنتَٱلْوَهَّابُ٣٥

    Qaala Rabbigh fir lee wa hab lee mulkal laa yambaghee li ahadim mim ba'de inaka Antal Wahhab

    He said, "My Lord, forgive me and grant me a kingdom such as will not belong to anyone after me. Indeed, You are the Bestower."

  36. 38:36

    Wa inna lahoo 'indanaa lazulfaa wa husna ma-aab

    And indeed, for him is nearness to Us and a good place of return.
