2:251
فَهَزَمُوهُمْ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَقَتَلَ دَاوُودُ جَالُوتَ وَآتَاهُ اللَّهُ الْمُلْكَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ وَعَلَّمَه ُُ مِمَّا يَشَاءُ وَلَوْلاَ دَفْعُ اللَّهِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْض ٍ لَفَسَدَتِ الأَرْضُ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ
Fahazamūhum Bi'idhni Allāhi Wa Qatala Dāwūdu Jālūta Wa 'Ātāhu Allāhu Al-Mulka Wa Al-Ĥikmata Wa `Allamahu Mimmā Yashā'u Wa Lawlā Daf`u Allāhi An-Nāsa Ba`Đahum Biba`Đin Lafasadati Al-'ArĐu Wa Lakinna Allāha Dhū FaĐlin `Alá Al-`Ālamīna
So they defeated them with the permission of God, and David killed Goliath, and God gave him the kingship and the wisdom and taught him what he wished. And if it were not for God defending the people against themselves, then the earth would have long been corrupted; but God has bestowed grace upon the worlds.
4:163
إِنَّا أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ كَمَا أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى نُوح ٍ وَالنَّبِيِّينَ مِنْ بَعْدِه ِِ وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ وَالأَسْبَاطِ وَعِيسَى وَأَيُّوبَ وَيُونُس وَهَارُونَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ وَآتَيْنَا دَاوُودَ زَبُورا ً
'Innā 'Awĥaynā 'Ilayka Kamā 'Awĥaynā 'Ilá Nūĥin Wa An-Nabīyīna Min Ba`dihi Wa 'Awĥaynā 'Ilá 'Ibrāhīma Wa 'Ismā`īla Wa 'Isĥāqa Wa Ya`qūba Wa Al-'Asbāţi Wa `Īsá Wa 'Ayyūba Wa Yūnus Wa Hārūna Wa Sulaymāna Wa 'Ātaynā Dāwūda Zabūrāan
We have inspired you as We had inspired Noah and the prophets after him. And We had inspired Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and Jesus, and Job, and Jonah, and Aaron, and Solomon; and We gave David the Psalms.
5:78
لُعِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى لِسَانِ دَاوُودَ وَعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ ذَلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوْا وَكَانُوا يَعْتَدُونَ
Lu`ina Al-Ladhīna Kafarū Min Banī 'Isrā'īla `Alá Lisāni Dāwūda Wa `Īsá Abni Maryama Dhālika Bimā `Aşaw Wa Kānū Ya`tadūna
Cursed are those who have rejected from among the Children of Israel by the tongue of David and Jesus, son of Mary. That is for what they have disobeyed, and for what they transgressed.
6:84
وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ~ُ إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ كُلّاً هَدَيْنَا وَنُوحاً هَدَيْنَا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِه ِِ دَاوُودَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ وَأَيُّوبَ وَيُوسُفَ وَمُوسَى وَهَارُونَ وَكَذَلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ
Wa Wahabnā Lahu 'Isĥāqa Wa Ya`qūba Kullāan Hadaynā Wa Nūĥāan Hadaynā Min Qablu Wa Min Dhurrīyatihi Dāwūda Wa Sulaymāna Wa 'Ayyūba Wa Yūsufa Wa Mūsá Wa Hārūna Wa Kadhalika Najzī Al-Muĥsinīna
And We granted him Isaac and Jacob, both of whom We guided; and Noah We guided from before; and from his progeny is David, and Solomon, and Job, and Joseph, and Moses, and Aaron. It is such that We recompense the good doers.
17:55
وَرَبُّكَ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَلَقَدْ فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَ النَّبِيِّينَ عَلَى بَعْض ٍ وَآتَيْنَا دَاوُودَ زَبُورا ً
Wa Rabbuka 'A`lamu Biman Fī As-Samāwāti Wa Al-'ArĐi Wa Laqad FaĐĐalnā Ba`Đa An-Nabīyīna `Alá Ba`Đin Wa 'Ātaynā Dāwūda Zabūrāan
And your Lord is fully aware of who is in the heavens and the earth. And We have preferred some prophets over others, and We gave David the Psalms.
21:78
وَدَاوُودَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ إِذْ يَحْكُمَانِ فِي الْحَرْثِ إِذْ نَفَشَتْ فِيه ِِ غَنَمُ الْقَوْمِ وَكُنَّا لِحُكْمِهِمْ شَاهِدِينَ
Wa Dāwūda Wa Sulaymāna 'Idh Yaĥkumāni Fī Al-Ĥarthi 'Idh Nafashat Fīhi Ghanamu Al-Qawmi Wa Kunnā Liĥukmihim Shāhidīna
And David and Solomon, when they gave judgment in the case of the crop that was damaged by the sheep of the people, and We were witness to their judgment.
21:79
فَفَهَّمْنَاهَا سُلَيْمَانَ وَكُلاّ ً آتَيْنَا حُكْما ً وَعِلْما ً وَسَخَّرْنَا مَعَ دَاوُودَ الْجِبَالَ يُسَبِّحْنَ وَالطَّيْرَ وَكُنَّا فَاعِلِينَ
Fafahhamnāhā Sulaymāna Wa Kullāan 'Ātaynā Ĥukmāan Wa `Ilmāan Wa Sakhkharnā Ma`a Dāwūda Al-Jibāla Yusabbiĥna Wa Aţ-Ţayra Wa Kunnā Fā`ilīna
So We gave Solomon the correct understanding, and both of them We have given wisdom and knowledge. And We commissioned the mountains with David to praise, and the birds. This is what We did.
27:15
وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا دَاوُودَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ عِلْما ً وَقَالاَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي فَضَّلَنَا عَلَى كَثِير ٍ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Wa Laqad 'Ātaynā Dāwūda Wa Sulaymāna `Ilmāan Wa Qālā Al-Ĥamdu Lillāhi Al-Ladhī FaĐĐalanā `Alá Kathīrin Min `Ibādihi Al-Mu'uminīna
And We bestowed upon David and Solomon knowledge, and they both said: "Praise be to God who preferred us over many of His believing servants."
27:16
وَوَرِثَ سُلَيْمَانُ دَاوُودَ وَقَالَ يَاأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ عُلِّمْنَا مَنطِقَ الطَّيْرِ وَأُوتِينَا مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْء ٍ إِنَّ هَذَا لَهُوَ الْفَضْلُ الْمُبِينُ
Wa Waritha Sulaymānu Dāwūda Wa Qāla Yā 'Ayyuhā An-Nāsu `Ullimnā Manţiqa Aţ-Ţayri Wa 'Ūtīnā Min Kulli Shay'in 'Inna Hādhā Lahuwa Al-FaĐlu Al-Mubīnu
And Solomon inherited from David, and he said: "O people, we have been taught how to understand the speech of the creatures that fly, and we have been given from everything. This is indeed an evident grace."
34:10
وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا دَاوُودَ مِنَّا فَضْلا ً يَاجِبَالُ أَوِّبِي مَعَه ُُ وَالطَّيْرَ وَأَلَنَّا لَهُ الْحَدِيدَ
Wa Laqad 'Ātaynā Dāwūda Minnā FaĐlāan Yā Jibālu 'Awwibī Ma`ahu Wa Aţ-Ţayra Wa 'Alannā Lahu Al-Ĥadīda
And We granted David blessings from Us: O mountains, glorify with him, and the birds. And We softened the iron for him.
34:13
يَعْمَلُونَ لَه ُُ مَا يَشَاءُ مِنْ مَحَارِيبَ وَتَمَاثِيلَ وَجِفَان ٍ كَالْجَوَابِ وَقُدُور ٍ رَاسِيَات ٍ اعْمَلُوا آلَ دَاوُودَ شُكْرا ً وَقَلِيل ٌ مِنْ عِبَادِيَ الشَّكُورُ
Ya`malūna Lahu Mā Yashā'u Min Maĥārība Wa Tamāthīla Wa Jifānin Kāljawābi Wa Qudūrin Rāsiyātin A`malū 'Āla Dāwūda Shukrāan Wa Qalīlun Min `Ibādiya Ash-Shakūru
They made for him what he desired of enclosures, and images and pools of deep reservoirs, and heavy pots. O family of David, work to give thanks. Only a few of My servants are thankful.
38:17
اصْبِرْ عَلَى مَا يَقُولُونَ وَاذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا دَاوُودَ ذَا الأَيْدِ إِنَّهُ~ُ أَوَّاب ٌ
Aşbir `Alá Mā Yaqūlūna Wa Adhkur `Abdanā Dāwūda Dhā Al-'Aydi 'Innahu 'Awwābun
Be patient to what they say, and recall Our servant David, the resourceful. He was obedient.
38:22
إِذْ دَخَلُوا عَلَى دَاوُودَ فَفَزِعَ مِنْهُمْ قَالُوا لاَ تَخَفْ خَصْمَانِ بَغَى بَعْضُنَا عَلَى بَعْض ٍ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَلاَ تُشْطِطْ وَاهْدِنَا إِلَى سَوَاءِ الصِّرَاطِ
'Idh Dakhalū `Alá Dāwūda Fafazi`a Minhum Qālū Lā Takhaf Khaşmāni Baghá Ba`Đunā `Alá Ba`Đin Fāĥkum Baynanā Bil-Ĥaqqi Wa Lā Tushţiţ Wa Ahdinā 'Ilá Sawā'i Aş-Şirāţi
When they entered upon David, he was startled by them. They said: "Have no fear. We are two who have disputed, and one has wronged the other, so judge between us with the truth, and do not wrong us, and guide us to the right path."
38:24
قَالَ لَقَدْ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤَالِ نَعْجَتِكَ إِلَى نِعَاجِه ِِ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرا ً مِنَ الْخُلَطَاءِ لَيَبْغِي بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَى بَعْض ٍ إِلاَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَقَلِيل ٌ مَا هُمْ وَظَنَّ دَاوُودُ أَنَّمَا فَتَنَّاه ُُ فَاسْتَغْفَرَ رَبَّه ُُ وَخَرَّ رَاكِعا ً وَأَنَابَ
Qāla Laqad žalamaka Bisu'uāli Na`jatika 'Ilá Ni`ājihi Wa 'Inna Kathīrāan Mina Al-Khulaţā'i Layabghī Ba`Đuhum `Alá Ba`Đin 'Illā Al-Ladhīna 'Āmanū Wa `Amilū Aş-Şāliĥāti Wa Qalīlun Mā Hum Wa žanna Dāwūdu 'Annamā Fatannāhu Fāstaghfara Rabbahu Wa Kharra Rāki`āan Wa 'Anāba
He said: "He has wronged you by asking to combine your lamb with his lambs. And many who mix their properties take advantage of one another, except those who believe and do good works, and these are very few." And David guessed that We had tested him, so he sought forgiveness from his Lord, and fell down kneeling, and repented.
38:26
يَادَاوُودُ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاكَ خَلِيفَة ً فِي الأَرْضِ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِالْحَقِّ وَلاَ تَتَّبِعِ الْهَوَى فَيُضِلَّكَ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَضِلُّونَ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَاب ٌ شَدِيد ٌ بِمَا نَسُوا يَوْمَ الْحِسَابِ
Yā Dāwūdu 'Innā Ja`alnāka Khalīfatan Fī Al-'ArĐi Fāĥkum Bayna An-Nāsi Bil-Ĥaqqi Wa Lā Tattabi`i Al-Hawá FayuĐillaka `An Sabīli Allāhi 'Inna Al-Ladhīna YaĐillūna `An Sabīli Allāhi Lahum `Adhābun Shadīdun Bimā Nasū Yawma Al-Ĥisābi
O David, We have made you a successor on the earth. Therefore, you shall judge among the people with the truth, and do not follow desire, lest it diverts you from the path of God. Indeed, those who stray off the path of God will have a severe retribution for forgetting the Day of Reckoning.
38:30
وَوَهَبْنَا لِدَاوُودَ سُلَيْمَانَ نِعْمَ الْعَبْدُ إِنَّهُ~ُ أَوَّاب ٌ
Wa Wahabnā Lidāwūda Sulaymāna Ni`ma Al-`Abdu 'Innahu 'Awwābun
And to David We granted Solomon. What an excellent and obedient servant.
