David ate only from the labor of his own hands and would ask Allah to provide for him from the work of his own labor so that he would not need to take anything from the treasury. Allah tells us, "And We softened iron for him, (saying) 'Make large coats of mail and measure their links well.'" (34:10-11).
David cunay oo keliya ka hawshii gacmihiisa iyo waydiistaan Eebe si ay u siiyaan isaga for shaqada ka ee hawshiisu si uusan u baahan tahay inuu wax ka khasnadda qaado. Eebe wuxuu inoo sheegayaa, "waxaana u jilcincy birta isaga, (Kacbada) Annagoo 'ka samce dirieyada badan oo mail oo si fiican loo qiyaaso xiriir la leeyihiin.'" (34: 10-11).
