when saul set out with the troops he said god will be testing you with a river. whoever drinks from it does not belong with me. but whoever does not drink from it does belong with me except for whoever scoops up a little with his hand. but they drank from it except for a few of them. then when he crossed it he and those who believed with him they said we have no strength to face goliath and his troops today. but those who knew that they would meet god said how many a small group has defeated a large group by gods will. god is with the steadfast.
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
