Verš 2:247

A řekl jim prorok jejich: „Bůh vám posílá Saula (Talút ) jako krále.“ Pravili: „Jak by nám tento mohl vládnout, když my máme větší nárok na vládu než on, jenž nemá dostatek majetku?“ Odvětil: „Bůh jej pro vás vyvolil a obohatil jej ve vědění i v síle tělesné. Bůh dává vládu Svou tomu, komu chce, a Bůh je nesmírný, vševědoucí.“

Tafsir al-Jalalayn

Then their prophet said to them, ‘Verily God has raised up Saul for you as king’ They said, ‘How can he be king over us when we have better right than he to kingship, since he is not of the tribe of monarchs or that of prophets; he [Saul] was a tanner or a shepherd; seeing he has not been given amplitude of wealth?’ which he can use to establish a kingdom. He, the prophet, said, to them, ‘God has chosen him over you, for kingship, and has increased him broadly, amply, in knowledge and body: at that time, he was the most knowledgeable and the most handsome of all the Children of Israel, and the most perfect of character. God gives the kingship to whom He will, in the way He does, and there can be no objection; and God is Embracing, in His bounty, Knowing, of those who deserve it.
