N'as-tu pas vu ceux qui sortirent de leurs demeures, - il y en avait des milliers -, par crainte de la mort? Puis Allah leur dit: «Mourez». Après quoi Il les rendit à la vie. Certes, Allah est Détenteur de la Faveur, envers les gens; mais la plupart des gens ne sont pas reconnaissants.

Have you not considered the assembly of the Children of Israel after [the time of] Moses when they said to a prophet of theirs, "Send to us a king, and we will fight in the way of Allah "? He said, "Would you perhaps refrain from fighting if fighting was prescribed for you?" They said, "And why should we not fight in the cause of Allah when we have been driven out from our homes and from our children?" But when fighting was prescribed for them, they turned away, except for a few of them. And Allah is Knowing of the wrongdoers.

N'as-tu pas su l'histoire des notables, parmi les enfants d'Israël, lorsqu'après Moïse ils dirent à un prophète à eux: «Désigne-nous un roi, pour que nous combattions dans le sentier d'Allah». Il dit: «Et si vous ne combattez pas, quand le combat vous sera prescrit?» Ils dirent: «Et qu'aurions-nous à ne pas combattre dans le sentier d'Allah, alors qu'on nous a expulsés de nos maisons et qu'on a capturé nos enfants?» Et quand le combat leur fut prescrit, ils tournèrent le dos, sauf un petit nombre d'entre eux. Et Allah connaît bien les injustes.
2.247
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ نَبِيُّهُمْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَدْ بَعَثَ لَكُمْ طَالُوتَ مَلِكًا ۚ قَالُوٓا۟ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لَهُ ٱلْمُلْكُ عَلَيْنَا وَنَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِٱلْمُلْكِ مِنْهُ وَلَمْ يُؤْتَ سَعَةً مِّنَ ٱلْمَالِ ۚ قَالَ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱصْطَفَىٰهُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَزَادَهُۥ بَسْطَةً فِى ٱلْعِلْمِ وَٱلْجِسْمِ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ يُؤْتِى مُلْكَهُۥ مَن يَشَآءُ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ وَٰسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ

And their prophet said to them, "Indeed, Allah has sent to you Saul as a king." They said, "How can he have kingship over us while we are more worthy of kingship than him and he has not been given any measure of wealth?" He said, "Indeed, Allah has chosen him over you and has increased him abundantly in knowledge and stature. And Allah gives His sovereignty to whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing [in favor] and Knowing."

Et leur prophète leur dit: «Voici qu'Allah vous a envoyé Tâlût pour roi.» Ils dirent: «Comment règnerait-il sur nous? Nous avons plus de droit que lui à la royauté. On ne lui a même pas prodigué beaucoup de richesses!» Il dit: «Allah, vraiment l'a élu sur vous, et a accru sa part quant au savoir et à la condition physique.» - Et Allah alloue Son pouvoir à qui Il veut. Allah a la grâce immense et Il est Omniscient.
2.248
وَقَالَ لَهُمْ نَبِيُّهُمْ إِنَّ ءَايَةَ مُلْكِهِۦٓ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ ٱلتَّابُوتُ فِيهِ سَكِينَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَبَقِيَّةٌ مِّمَّا تَرَكَ ءَالُ مُوسَىٰ وَءَالُ هَٰرُونَ تَحْمِلُهُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ ۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةً لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ
English: Sahih International
And their prophet said to them, "Indeed, a sign of his kingship is that the chest will come to you in which is assurance from your Lord and a remnant of what the family of Moses and the family of Aaron had left, carried by the angels. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers."

Et leur prophète leur dit: «Le signe de son investiture sera que le Coffre va vous revenir; objet de quiétude inspiré par votre Seigneur, et contenant les reliques de ce que laissèrent la famille de Moïse et la famille d'Aaron. Les Anges le porteront. Voilà bien là un signe pour vous, si vous êtes croyants!»
2.249
فَلَمَّا فَصَلَ طَالُوتُ بِٱلْجُنُودِ قَالَ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مُبْتَلِيكُم بِنَهَرٍ فَمَن شَرِبَ مِنْهُ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّى وَمَن لَّمْ يَطْعَمْهُ فَإِنَّهُۥ مِنِّىٓ إِلَّا مَنِ ٱغْتَرَفَ غُرْفَةًۢ بِيَدِهِۦ ۚ فَشَرِبُوا۟ مِنْهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِّنْهُمْ ۚ فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَهُۥ هُوَ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مَعَهُۥ قَالُوا۟ لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا ٱلْيَوْمَ بِجَالُوتَ وَجُنُودِهِۦ ۚ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّهُم مُّلَٰقُوا۟ ٱللَّهِ كَم مِّن فِئَةٍ قَلِيلَةٍ غَلَبَتْ فِئَةً كَثِيرَةًۢ بِإِذْنِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ مَعَ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ
English: Sahih International
And when Saul went forth with the soldiers, he said, "Indeed, Allah 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 Allah said, "How many a small company has overcome a large company by permission of Allah. And Allah is with the patient."

Puis, au moment de partir avec les troupes, Tâlût dit: «Voici: Allah va vous éprouver par une rivière: quiconque y boira ne sera plus des miens; et quiconque n'y goûtera pas sera des miens; - passe pour celui qui y puisera un coup dans le creux de sa main.» Ils en burent, sauf un petit nombre d'entre eux. Puis, lorsqu'ils l'eurent traversée, lui et ceux des croyants qui l'accompagnaient, ils dirent: «Nous voilà sans force aujourd'hui contre Goliath et ses troupes!» Ceux qui étaient convaincus qu'ils auront à rencontrer Allah dirent: «Combien de fois une troupe peu nombreuse a, par la grâce d'Allah, vaincu une troupe très nombreuse! Et Allah est avec les endurants»
2.250
وَلَمَّا بَرَزُوا۟ لِجَالُوتَ وَجُنُودِهِۦ قَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَآ أَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْرًا وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَنَا وَٱنصُرْنَا عَلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ
