and their prophet said unto those elders behold now god has raised up saul to be your king. they said how can he have dominion over us when we have a better claim to dominion than he and he has not been endowed with abundant wealth? replied behold god has exalted him above you and endowed him abundantly with knowledge and bodily perfection. and god bestows his dominion upon whom he wills for god is infinite allknowing.
وقال لهم نبيهم إن الله قد بعث لكم طالوت ملكا قالوا أنى يكون له الملك علينا ونحن أحق بالملك منه ولم يؤت سعة من المال قال إن الله اصطفاه عليكم وزاده بسطة في العلم والجسم والله يؤتي ملكه من يشاء والله واسع عليم
