Ṣād

Ṣād. By the Qur’ān containing reminder...

And they wonder that there has come to them a warner [i.e., Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ)] from among themselves. And the disbelievers say, "This is a magician and a liar.

Has he made the gods [only] one God? Indeed, this is a curious thing."

Be patient over what they say and remember Our servant, David, the possessor of strength; indeed, he was one who repeatedly turned back [to Allāh].

[David] said, "He has certainly wronged you in demanding your ewe [in addition] to his ewes. And indeed, many associates oppress one another, except for those who believe and do righteous deeds - and few are they." And David became certain that We had tried him, and he asked forgiveness of his Lord and fell down bowing [in prostration] and turned in repentance [to Allāh].

And to David We gave Solomon. An excellent servant, indeed he was one repeatedly turning back [to Allāh].

He said, "My Lord, forgive me and grant me a kingdom such as will not belong to anyone after me. Indeed, You are the Bestower."

And remember Our servant Job, when he called to his Lord, "Indeed, Satan has touched me with hardship and torment."

[We said], "And take in your hand a bunch [of grass] and strike with it and do not break your oath." Indeed, We found him patient, an excellent servant. Indeed, he was one repeatedly turning back [to Allāh].

[So mention] when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I am going to create a human being from clay.

[Allāh] said, "O Iblees, what prevented you from prostrating to that which I created with My hands? Were you arrogant [then], or were you [already] among the haughty?"

He said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay."

[Iblees] said, "By Your might, I will surely mislead them all.

Except, among them, Your chosen servants."
