یَا دَاوُ𐻿دُ اِنَّا جَعَلْنَاكَ خَلٖیفَةً فِی الْاَرْضِ فَاحْكُمْ بَیْنَ النَّاسِ بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا تَتَّبِعِ الْهَوٰى فَیُضِلَّكَ عَنْ سَبٖیلِ اللّٰهِؕ اِنَّ الَّذٖینَ یَضِلُّونَ عَنْ سَبٖیلِ اللّٰهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدٖیدٌ بِمَا نَسُوا یَوْمَ الْحِسَابِࣖ
Ya dawoodu inna jaAAalnaka khaleefatan fee alardi faohkum bayna alnnasi bialhaqqi wala tattabiAAi alhawa fayudillaka AAan sabeeli Allahi inna allatheena yadilloona AAan sabeeli Allahi lahum AAathabun shadeedun bima nasoo yawma alhisabi
Translations
[We said], "O David, indeed We have made you a successor upon the earth, so judge between the people in truth and do not follow [your own] desire, as it will lead you astray from the way of Allah." Indeed, those who go astray from the way of Allah will have a severe punishment for having forgotten the Day of Account
Saheeh International
(And it was said unto him): O David! Lo! We have set thee as a viceroy in the earth; therefor judge aright between mankind, and follow not desire that it beguile thee from the way of Allah. Lo! those who wander from the way of Allah have an awful doom, forasmuch as they forgot the Day of Reckoning
