Surah Al-Baqara
So they defeated them by permission of Allah, and David killed Goliath, and Allah gave him the kingship and prophethood and taught him from that which He willed. And if it were not for Allah checking [some] people by means of others, the earth would have been corrupted, but Allah is full of bounty to the worlds.﴿251﴾
Translation
So they defeated them by permission of Allah, and David killed Goliath, and Allah gave him the kingship and prophethood and taught him from that which He willed. And if it were not for Allah checking [some] people by means of others, the earth would have been corrupted, but Allah is full of bounty to the worlds.
Simplified Tafsir
فهزموهم بإذن الله، وقتل داود -عليه السلام- جالوتَ قائدَ الجبابرة، وأعطى الله عز وجل داود بعد ذلك الملك والنبوة في بني إسرائيل، وعَلَّمه مما يشاء من العلوم. ولولا أن يدفع الله ببعض الناس -وهم أهل الطاعة له والإيمان به- بعضًا، وهم أهل المعصية لله والشرك به، لفسدت الأرض بغلبة الكفر، وتمكُّن الطغيان، وأهل المعاصي، ولكن الله ذو فضل على المخلوقين جميعًا.
