They consider it odd that there should come to them a warner from among themselves, and the faithless say, ‘This is a magician, a mendacious liar.’

MAA SAME’NAA BEHAAZAA FIL MILLATIL AAKHERAH, IN HAAZAA ILLAKH TELAAQ.

We did not hear of this in the latter-day creed. This is nothing but a fabrication.

ءَاُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ الذِّكْرُ مِنْۢ بَيْنِنَا‌ؕ بَلْ هُمْ فِىْ شَكٍّ مِّنْ ذِكْرِىْ‌ۚ بَلْ لَّمَّا يَذُوْقُوْا عَذَابِؕ‏(8)

When they entered into the presence of David, he was alarmed by them. They said, ‘Do not be afraid. [We are only] two contenders: one of us has bullied the other. So judge justly between us, and do not exceed [the bounds of justice], and show us the right path.’

He said, ‘He has certainly wronged you by asking your ewe in addition to his own ewes, and indeed many partners bully one another, except such as have faith and do righteous deeds, and few are they.’ Then David knew that We had tested him, whereat he pleaded with his Lord for forgiveness, and fell down in prostration and repented.

فَغَفَرْنَا لَهٗ ذٰ لِكَ‌ ؕ وَاِنَّ لَهٗ عِنْدَنَا لَزُلْفٰى وَحُسْنَ مَاٰبٍ‏(25)

‘O David! Indeed, We have made you a vicegerent on the earth. So judge between people with justice, and do not follow your desires, or they will lead you astray from the way of Allah. Indeed there is a severe punishment for those who stray from the way of Allah, because of their forgetting the Day of Reckoning.’
