so when talut departed with the forces he said surely allah will try you with a river whoever then drinks from it he is not of me and whoever does not taste of it he is surely of me except he who takes with his hand as much of it as fills the hand but with the exception of a few of them they drank from it. so when he had crossed it he and those who believed with him they said we have today no power against jalut and his forces. those who were sure that they would meet their lord said how often has a small party vanquished a numerous host by allahs permission and allah is with the patient.
فلما فصل طالوت بالجنود قال إن الله مبتليكم بنهر فمن شرب منه فليس مني ومن لم يطعمه فإنه مني إلا من اغترف غرفة بيده فشربوا منه إلا قليلا منهم فلما جاوزه هو والذين آمنوا معه قالوا لا طاقة لنا اليوم بجالوت وجنوده قال الذين يظنون أنهم ملاقو الله كم من فئة قليلة غلبت فئة كثيرة بإذن الله والله مع الصابرين
