كِتَٰبٌ أَنزَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَيۡكَ مُبَٰرَكٞ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوٓاْ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُوْلُواْ ٱلۡأَلۡبَٰبِ

(38:29) This is the Blessed Book1 that We have revealed to you,
(O Muhammad), that people with understanding may reflect over its verses and
those with understanding derive a lesson.


وَوَهَبۡنَا لِدَاوُۥدَ سُلَيۡمَٰنَۚ نِعۡمَ ٱلۡعَبۡدُ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ

(38:30) We bestowed upon David (an illustrious son), Solomon.2
How excellent a servant (of Ours he was)! Indeed he constantly turned to Us
in devotion.


إِذۡ عُرِضَ عَلَيۡهِ بِٱلۡعَشِيِّ ٱلصَّـٰفِنَٰتُ ٱلۡجِيَادُ

(38:31) And when one evening well-trained and running horses of noble breed
were brought to him3


فَقَالَ إِنِّيٓ أَحۡبَبۡتُ حُبَّ ٱلۡخَيۡرِ عَن ذِكۡرِ رَبِّي حَتَّىٰ تَوَارَتۡ بِٱلۡحِجَابِ

(38:32) he said: “Lo! I have come to love this wealth4 on account
of the remembrance of my Lord.” And when the horses disappeared,


رُدُّوهَا عَلَيَّۖ فَطَفِقَ مَسۡحَۢا بِٱلسُّوقِ وَٱلۡأَعۡنَاقِ

(38:33) (he ordered): “Bring these horses back to me,” and then he began
to gently stroke their shanks and necks.5
