And We have surely favoured some prophets above others, and to David We gave the Psalms.1 

(zabur). (SURAH AL-ISRAA AYAH 55)

And remember Our servant, David, the man of strength. Indeed, he ˹constantly˺ turned ˹

to Allah˺. We truly subjected the mountains to hymn ˹Our praises˺ along with him in the

evening and after sunrise. And ˹We subjected˺ the birds, flocking together. All turned to him

˹echoing his hymns˺. We strengthened his kingship, and gave him wisdom and sound judgment.

Has the story of the two plaintiffs, who scaled the ˹wall of David’s˺ sanctuary, reached you

˹O Prophet˺? When they came into David’s presence, he was startled by them. They

said, “Have no fear. ˹We are merely˺ two in a dispute: one of us has wronged the other. So judge

between us with truth—do not go beyond ˹it˺—and guide us to the right way.

This is my brother.1 He has ninety-nine sheep while I have ˹only˺ one. ˹Still˺ he asked me

to give it up to him, overwhelming me with ˹his˺ argument.”

David ˹eventually˺ ruled, “He has definitely wronged you in demanding ˹to add˺ your sheep

to his. And certainly many partners wrong each other, except those who believe and

do good—but how few are they!” Then David realized that We had tested him so he asked

for his Lord’s forgiveness, fell down in prostration, and turned ˹to Him in repentance˺.

(SURAH SAD AYAH 18-26)

Indeed, We granted David a ˹great˺ privilege from Us, ˹commanding:˺ “O mountains! Echo his

hymns! And the birds as well.” We made iron mouldable for him, instructing:

“Make full-length armour, ˹perfectly˺ balancing the links. And work righteousness ˹O family of

David!˺. Indeed, I am All-Seeing of what you do.”

(SURAH SABA AYAH 10-11)
