[Dawud (David)] said (immediately without listening to the opponent): "He has wronged you in demanding your ewe in addition to his ewes. And, verily, many partners oppress one another, except those who believe and do righteous good deeds, and they are few." And Dawud (David) guessed that We have tried him and he sought Forgiveness of his Lord, and he fell down prostrate and turned (to Allah) in repentance.
かれ（ダーウード）は，「かれがあなたの羊を，取り込もうとしたのは，確かに不当です。本当に共同で仕事をする者の多くは，互いに侵しあう。信仰して善行に勤しむ者は別だが，それは稀です。」と言った。（その時）ダーウードは，われがかれを試みたことを喩り，主の御赦しを請い，礼拝にひれ伏し，悔悟して主の御許に帰った。〔サジダ〕
