| 73. And WE made them leaders who guided people by Our command, and WE sent revelation to them enjoining the doing of good works, and the observance of Prayer, and the giving of alms. And US alone they worshiped. 74. And to Lot WE gave wisdom and knowledge. And WE saved him from the city which practised abominations. They were indeed a wicked and rebellious people. 75. And WE admitted him to OUR mercy; surely he was one of the righteous. 76. And remember Noah when he cried to US aforetime, and WE heard his prayer and delivered him and his family from the great distress, 77. And WE helped him against the people who rejected OUR Signs. They were surely a wicked people; so WE drowned them all. 78. And remember David and Solomon when they exercised their respective judgements concerning the crop, when the sheep of certain people strayed therein by night, and WE were bearers of witness to their judgment. 79. WE gave Solomon the right understanding of the matter and to each of them WE gave wisdom and knowledge. And WE subjected the mountains and the birds to David to celebrate God's praises with him. And it was WE WHO did all these things. 80. And WE taught him the making of coats of mail for you, that they might protect you from each other's violence in your battles. Will you then be grateful ? 81. And WE subjected to Solomon the violent wind. It blew, at his bidding, toward the land which WE had blessed. And WE have knowledge of all things. |
