۞ أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا مِن دِيَارِهِمْ وَهُمْ أُلُوفٌ حَذَرَ الْمَوْتِ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ اللَّهُ مُوتُوا ثُمَّ أَحْيَاهُمْ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَشْكُرُونَəлəм тəрō илəəль-лəз̃иинə хōрōджуу миŋŋ-дийəəриhим вəhум улююфун həз̃əрōль-мəути фəќōōлə лəhумул-лаhу муутуу c̃уммə əhйəəhум, иннəл-лаhə лəз̃уу фəдлин 'əлəəн-нəəси вəлəəкиннə əкc̃əрōн-нəəси лəə йəшкуруун
Have you not regarded those who left their homes in thousands, apprehensive of death, whereupon Allah said to them, ‘Die,’ then He revived them? Indeed Allah is gracious to mankind, but most people do not give thanks. -

Who is it that will lend Allah a good loan that He may multiply it for him severalfold? Allah tightens and expands [the means of life], and to Him you shall be brought back. -
2:246

Have you not regarded the elite of the Israelites after Moses, when they said to their prophet, ‘Appoint for us a king that we may fight in the way of Allah.’ He said, ‘May it not be that you will not fight if fighting were prescribed for you?’ They said, ‘Why should we not fight in the way of Allah, when we have been expelled from our homes and [separated from] our children?’ So when fighting was prescribed for them, they turned back except a few of them, and Allah knows well the wrongdoers. -

وَقَالَ لَهُمْ نَبِيُّهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ بَعَثَ لَكُمْ طَالُوتَ مَلِكًا ۚ قَالُوا أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ عَلَيْنَا وَنَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِالْمُلْكِ مِنْهُ وَلَمْ يُؤْتَ سَعَةً مِّنَ الْمَالِ ۚ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَاهُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَزَادَهُ بَسْطَةً فِي الْعِلْمِ وَالْجِسْمِ ۖ وَاللَّهُ يُؤْتِي مُلْكَهُ مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَاللَّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌвəќōōлə лəhум нəбиййуhум иннəл-лаhə ќōд бə'əc̃ə лəкум тōōлюютə мəликə, ќōōлюю əннəə йəкууну лəhуль-мульку 'əлэйнəə вəнəhну əhəќќу би-ль-мульки минhу вəлəм йу`тə сə'əтəмм-минəль-мəəль, ќōōлə иннəл-лаhə-стōфəəhу 'əлэйкум вəзəəдəhу бəстōтəн фииль-'ильми вəəльджисм, вəл-лаhу йу`тии мулькəhу мəй-йəшəə, вəл-лаhу вəəси'ун 'əлиим
Their prophet said to them, ‘Allah has appointed Saul as king for you.’ They said, ‘How can he have kingship over us, when we have a greater right to kingship than him, as he has not been given ample wealth?’ He said, ‘Indeed Allah has chosen him over you, and enhanced him vastly in knowledge and physique, and Allah gives His kingdom to whomever He wishes, and Allah is all-bounteous, all-knowing.’ -

Their prophet said to them, ‘Indeed the sign of his kingship shall be that the Ark will come to you, bearing tranquillity from your Lord and the relics left behind by the House of Moses and the House of Aaron, borne by the angels. There is indeed a sign in that for you, should you be faithful.’ -
2:249
فَلَمَّا فَصَلَ طَالُوتُ بِالْجُنُودِ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مُبْتَلِيكُم بِنَهَرٍ فَمَن شَرِبَ مِنْهُ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي وَمَن لَّمْ يَطْعَمْهُ فَإِنَّهُ مِنِّي إِلَّا مَنِ اغْتَرَفَ غُرْفَةً بِيَدِهِ ۚ فَشَرِبُوا مِنْهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِّنْهُمْ ۚ فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَهُ هُوَ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَهُ قَالُوا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا الْيَوْمَ بِجَالُوتَ وَجُنُودِهِ ۚ قَالَ الَّذِينَ يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّهُم مُّلَاقُو اللَّهِ كَم مِّن فِئَةٍ قَلِيلَةٍ غَلَبَتْ فِئَةً كَثِيرَةً بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَфəлəммəə фəсōлə тōōлююту би-ль-джунууди ќōōлə иннəл-лаhə мубтəлиикумм-бинəhəрин фəмəŋŋ-шəрибə минhу фəлэйсə миннии вəмəль-лəм йəт'əмhу фə`иннəhу миннии ильлəə мəни-ґтəрōфə ґурфəтəмм-бийəдиh, фəшəрибуу минhу ильлəə ќōлиилəмм-минhум, фəлəммəə джəəвəзəhу hувə вəəльлəз̃иинə əəмəнуу мə'əhу ќōōлюю лəə тōōќōтə лəнəəль-йəумə биджəəлюютə вəджунуудиh, ќōōлəль-лəз̃иинə йəз̃уннуунə əннəhум-мулəəќуул-лаhи кəм-миŋŋ-фи`əтин ќōлиилəтин ґōлəбəт фи`əтəн кəc̃иирōтəмм-би`из̃ниль-лəh, вəл-лаhу мə'əс-сōōбириин
As Saul set out with the troops, he said, ‘Allah will test you with a stream: anyone who drinks from it will not belong to me, but those who do not drink from it will belong to me, barring someone who draws a scoop with his hand.’ But they drank from it, [all] except a few of them. So when he crossed it along with the faithful who were with him, they said, ‘We have no strength today against Goliath and his troops.’ Those who were certain that they would encounter Allah said, ‘How many a small party has overcome a larger party by Allah’s will! And Allah is with the patient.’ -

So when they marched out for [encounter with] Goliath and his troops, they said, ‘Our Lord, pour patience upon us, make our feet steady, and assist us against the faithless lot.’ -
2:251

Thus they routed them with Allah’s will, and David killed Goliath, and Allah gave him kingdom and wisdom and taught him whatever He liked. Were it not for Allah’s repelling the people by means of one another, the earth would surely have been corrupted; but Allah is gracious to the world’s people.
