فَلَمَّا Then when falammā set out faṣala Talut ṭālūtu with the forces bil-junūdi he said qāla Indeed inna Allah l-laha will test you mub'talīkum with a river binaharin So whoever faman drinks shariba from it min'hu then he is not falaysa from me minnī and whoever waman (does) not lam taste it yaṭʿamhu then indeed, he fa-innahu (is) from me minnī except illā whoever mani takes igh'tarafa (in the) hollow ghur'fatan (of) his hand biyadihi Then they drank fasharibū from it min'hu except illā a few qalīlan of them min'hum Then when falammā he crossed it jāwazahu he huwa and those who wa-alladhīna believed āmanū with him maʿahu they said qālū No lā strength ṭāqata for us lanā today l-yawma against Jalut bijālūta and his troops wajunūdihi Said qāla those who alladhīna were certain yaẓunnūna that they annahum (would) meet mulāqū Allah l-lahi How many kam of min a company fi-atin small qalīlatin overcame ghalabat a company fi-atan large kathīratan by (the) permission bi-idh'ni (of) Allah l-lahi And Allah wal-lahu (is) with maʿa the patient ones l-ṣābirīna
And when Saul went forth with the soldiers, he said, "Indeed, Allāh will be testing you with a river. So whoever drinks from it is not of me, and whoever does not taste it is indeed of me, excepting one who takes [from it] in the hollow of his hand." But they drank from it, except a [very] few of them. Then when he had crossed it along with those who believed with him, they said, "There is no power for us today against Goliath and his soldiers." But those who were certain that they would meet Allāh said, "How many a small company has overcome a large company by permission of Allāh. And Allāh is with the patient."
