فَلَمَّا فَصَلَ طَالُوتُ بِالْجُنُودِ قَالَ إِنَّ اللّهَ مُبْتَلِيكُم بِنَهَرٍ فَمَن شَرِبَ مِنْهُ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي وَمَن لَّمْ يَطْعَمْهُ فَإِنَّهُ مِنِّي إِلاَّ مَنِ اغْتَرَفَ غُرْفَةً بِيَدِهِ فَشَرِبُواْ مِنْهُ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً مِّنْهُمْ فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَهُ هُوَ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ مَعَهُ قَالُواْ لاَ طَاقَةَ لَنَا الْيَوْمَ بِجَالُوتَ وَجُنودِهِ قَالَ الَّذِينَ يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّهُم مُّلاَقُو اللّهِ كَم مِّن فِئَةٍ قَلِيلَةٍ غَلَبَتْ فِئَةً كَثِيرَةً بِإِذْنِ اللّهِ وَاللّهُ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ
﴿٢٤٩﴾
2/Al-Baqarah-249: Fa lammea fasaala tealootu bil cunoodi, keala innaalleaha mubtaleekum bi nahar(naharin), fa man shariba minhu fa laysa minnee, va man lam yaat’aamhu fa innahu minnee illea manigtaraafa gurfatan bi yadih(yadihee), fa shariboo minhu illea kaaleelan minhum fa lammea ceavazahu huva vallazeena eamanoo maaahu, kealoo lea teakaata laneal yavma bi cealoota va cunoodih(cunoodihee), kealallazeena yazunnoona annahum muleakoolleahi, kam min fiatin kaaleelatin gaalabat fiatan kaseeraatan bi iznilleah(iznilleahi), vaalleahu maaas seabireen(seabireena).
Then when Saul set out with the army, he said: “Surely Allah will try you with a river; whoever then drinks from it, he is not of me, and whoever does not taste of it, he is surely of me, except he who takes (of it) in the hollow of his hand”. Yet, they drank of it, all, except a few of them. So when he crossed it together with those who believed with him, they said: “We have today no power against Jâlût (Goliath) and his army”. Those who were sure that they would meet their Lord said: “How often has a small party vanquished a bigger party by Allah’s Leave”. And Allah is with the patient. (249)
