then when talut set out with the army he said verily allah will try you by a river. so whoever drinks thereof he is not of me and whoever tastes it not he is of me except him who takes in the hollow of his hand. yet they drank thereof all except a few of them. so when he had crossed it he and those who believed with him they said we have no power this day against jalut and his hosts. but those who knew with certainty that they were going to meet allah said how often has a small group overcome a mighty host by allahs leave and allah is with assabirin .
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
