قال لقد ظلمك بسؤال نعجتك الى نعاجه وان كثيرا من الخلطاء ليبغي بعضهم على بعض الا الذين امنوا وعملوا الصالحات وقليل ما هم وظن داوود انما فتناه فاستغفر ربه وخر راكعا واناب

(David) said: "He has Undoubtedly wronged thee In demanding thy (single) ewe To be added to his (flock Of) ewes: truly many Are the Partners (in business) Who wrong each other: Not so do those who believe And work deeds of righteousness, And how few are they?"… And David gathered that we Had tried him: he asked Forgiveness of his Lord, Fell down, bowing (In prostration), and turned (To God in repentance).
