David said, "He has certainly wronged you by demanding that your ewe be added to his ewes! Thus many partners wrong one another -- [all] save those who believe [in God] and do righteous deeds: but how few are they!" And [suddenly] David understood that We were only putting him to the test, and so he asked his Lord to forgive him his sins; he fell to his knees, and turned to Him in repentance.
(داوود) گفت: «مسلّماً او با درخواست یک میش تو برای افزودن آن به میشهایش، بر تو ستم نموده؛ و بسیاری از شریکان (و دوستان) به یکدیگر ستم می‌کنند، مگر کسانی که ایمان آورده و اعمال صالح انجام داده‌اند؛ امّا عدّه آنان کم است!» داوود دانست که ما او را (با این ماجرا) آزموده‌ایم، از این رو از پروردگارش طلب آمرزش نمود و به سجده افتاد و توبه کرد.
