Then when Talut (Saul) 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 (thereof) in the hollow of his hand." Yet, they drank thereof, all, except a few of them. So when he had crossed it (the river), he and those who believed with him, they said: "We have no power this day against Jalut (Goliath) and his hosts." But those who knew with certainty that they were to meet their Lord, said: "How often a small group overcame a mighty host by Allah's Leave?" And Allah is with As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.).
Basi Taluti alipo ondoka na majeshi alisema: Mwenyezi Mungu atakujaribuni kwa mto. Atakaye kunywa humo si pamoja nami, na asiye kunywa atakuwa pamoja nami: ila atakaye teka kiasi ya kitanga cha mkono wake. Lakini walikunywa humo isipo kuwa wachache tu miongoni mwao. Alipo vuka mto yeye na wale walio amini pamoja naye, walisema: Leo hatumwezi Jaluti (Goliati) na majeshi yake. Wakasema wale wenye yakini ya kukutana na Mwenyezi Mungu: Makundi mangapi madogo yameshinda makundi makubwa kwa idhini ya Mwenyezi Mungu. Na Mwenyezi Mungu yu pamoja na wenye kusubiri.
