سَبَأ : ١٠

  • وَلَقَدۡ And certainly
  • ءَاتَيۡنَا We gave
  • دَاوُۥدَ Dawood
  • مِنَّا from Us
  • فَضۡلٗاۖ Bounty
  • يَٰجِبَالُ O mountains!
  • أَوِّبِي Repeat praises
  • مَعَهُۥ with him
  • وَٱلطَّيۡرَۖ and the birds
  • وَأَلَنَّا And We made pliable
  • لَهُ for him
  • ٱلۡحَدِيدَ [the] iron
And We certainly gave David from Us bounty. [We said], "O mountains, repeat [Our] praises with him, and the birds [as well]." And We made pliable for him iron,
And verily We bestowed on David a [great] favour from Us - prophethood and scripture - and We said: 'O mountains, repeat with him [in praise], by making glorifications, and the birds [too]!' (read wa'l-tayra in the accusative as a supplement to the [syntactical] locus of jibaal, 'mountains', in other words, and We also called on them to glorify [God] with him). And We made iron malleable for him, so that it was as dough in his hands.
