Behold, thy Lord said to the angels: "I will create a vicegerent on earth." They said: "Wilt Thou place therein one who will make mischief therein and shed blood?- whilst we do celebrate Thy praises and glorify Thy holy (name)?" He said: "I know what ye know not."

O David! We did indeed make thee a vicegerent on earth: so judge thou between men in truth (and justice): Nor follow thou the lusts (of thy heart), for they will mislead thee from the Path of Allah: for those who wander astray from the Path of Allah, is a Penalty Grievous, for that they forget the Day of Account.

当时，你的主对众天神说：“我必定在大地上设置一个代理人。”他们说：“我们赞你超绝，我们赞你清净，你还要在大地上设置作恶和流血者吗？”他说：“我知道你们所不知道的。”

达五德啊！我确已任命你为大地的代治者，你当替人民秉公判决，不要顺从私欲，以免私欲使你叛离真主的大道；叛离真主的大道者，将因忘却清算之日而受严厉的刑罚。
