their prophet said to them allah has appointed saul as king for you. they said how can he have kingship over us when we have a greater right to kingship than him as he has not been given ample wealth? he said indeed allah has chosen him over you and enhanced him vastly in knowledge and physique and allah gives his kingdom to whomever he wishes and allah is allbounteous 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
