And their Prophet (Samuel) said to them, "Indeed Allah has appointed Talut (Saul) as a king over you." They said, "How can he be a king over us when we are better fitted than him for the kingdom, and he has not been given enough wealth." He said: "Verily, Allah has chosen him above you and has increased him abundantly in knowledge and stature. And Allah grants His Kingdom to whom He wills. And Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower."
Na Nabii wao akawaambia: Mwenyezi Mungu amekuteulieni Taluti (Sauli) kuwa ni mfalme. Wakasema: vipi atakuwa na ufalme juu yetu, na hali sisi tuna haki zaidi kupata ufalme kuliko yeye, naye hakupewa wasaa wa mali? Akasema: Mwenyezi Mungu amemteua yeye juu yenu na amemzidishia ukunjufu wa ilimu na kiwiliwili. Na Mwenyezi Mungu humpa ufalme wake amtakaye. Na Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwenye wasaa na Mjuzi.
