between us with justice, and do not act
unjustly, and guide us to the right way.

Y: "This man is my brother: He has nine and ninety ewes, and I have
(but) one: Yet he says, 'commit her to my care,' and is (moreover)
harsh to me in speech."

P: Lo! this my brother hath ninety and nine ewes while I had one ewe;
and he said: Entrust it to me, and he conquered me in speech.

S: Surely this is my brother; he has ninety-nine ewes and I have a
single ewe; but he said: Make it over to me, and he has prevailed
against me in discourse.

Y: (David) said: "He has undoubtedly wronged thee in demanding thy
(single) ewe to be added to his (flock of) ewes: truly many are the
partners (in business) who wrong each other: Not so do those who
believe and work deeds of righteousness, and how few are they?"...and
David gathered that We had tried him: he asked forgiveness of his Lord,
fell down, bowing (in prostration), and turned (to Allah in
repentance).

P: (David) said: He hath wronged thee in demanding thine ewe in addition
to his ewes, and lo! many partners oppress one another, save such as
believe and do good works, and they are few. And David guessed that We
had tried him, and he sought forgiveness of his Lord, and he bowed
himself and fell down prostrate and repented.

S: He said: Surely he has been unjust to you in demanding your ewe (to
add) to his own ewes; and most surely most of the partners act
wrongfully towards one another, save those who believe and do good, and
very few are they; and Dawood was sure that We had tried him, so he
sought the protection of his Lord and he fell down bowing and turned
time after time (to Him).

Y: So We forgave him this (lapse): he enjoyed, indeed, a Near Approach
to Us, and a beautiful place of (Final) Return.

P: So We forgave him that; and lo! he had access to Our presence and a
happy journey's end.

S: Therefore We rectified for him this, and most surely he had a
nearness to Us and an excellent resort.

Y: O David! We did indeed make thee a vicegerent on earth: so judge thou
between men in truth (and justice): Nor follow thou the lusts (of thy
heart), for they will mislead thee from the Path of Allah: for those
who wander astray from the Path of Allah, is a Penalty Grievous, for
that they forget the Day of Account.

P: (And it was said unto him): O David! Lo! We have set thee as a
viceroy in the earth; therefor judge aright between mankind,
