﴿ ٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَٱذْكُرْ عَبْدَنَا دَاوُۥدَ ذَا ٱلْأَيْدِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَوَّابٌ ﴾

“[But] bear thou with patience whatever they may say, and remember Our servant David, him who was endowed with [so much] inner strength! He, verily, would always turn unto Us:”

(Bear) O Muhammad (with what they say) in your rejection, (and remember Our bondman David) He says: mention to them the event of Our slave David, (lord of might) who had strength for our worship. (Lo! he was ever turning in repentance (towards Allah)) he was obedient, always engaged in the worship of Allah.
