TRANSLATION
Despite ruling over a large country and possessing
skillful and strong hands, Dawood (peace
be upon him) was a humble person, turning to Allah and being constant in His
remembrance. He would make long supplications and engage in long praises of
Allah. He was just and fair ruler who judged between people with truth and did
not favor anyone.
Allah says:
O David! Lo! We have set thee as a viceroy in the earth;
therefor judge aright between mankind, and follow not desire that it beguile
thee from the way of Allah. Lo! those who wander from the way of Allah have an
awful doom, forasmuch as they forgot the Day of Reckoning.
Sa’ad 26
