Pa pošto izađe Talut sa vojskama, reče: "Uistinu! Allah će vas iskušati rijekom. Pa ko se iz nje napije, pa nije od mene, a ko je se ne okusi - pa uistinu on je od mene, izuzev ko zagrabi hvatom ruke svoje." Pa se napiše iz nje, izuzev malo njih. Pa pošto je prijeđe, on i oni koji su vjerovali s njim rekoše: "Nemamo mi sile danas protiv Džaluta i vojski njegovih." Oni koji su znali da će oni biti ti koji će sresti Allaha rekoše: "Koliko je malih grupa pobijedilo velike grupe s dozvolom Allahovom!" A Allah je uz strpljive.
When Talut set forth with the armies, he said: "Allah will test you at the stream: if any drinks of its water, He goes not with my army: Only those who taste not of it go with me: A mere sip out of the hand is excused." but they all drank of it, except a few. When they crossed the river,- He and the faithful ones with him,- they said: "This day We cannot cope with Goliath and his forces." but those who were convinced that they must meet Allah, said: "How oft, by Allah's will, Hath a small force vanquished a big one? Allah is with those who steadfastly persevere."
