بخش 107 - حکم کردن داود علیه السلام برکشندهٔ گاو

David said, “Wipe out these words and declare (set forth) a legal plea in this dispute.

Do you deem it allowable that, without any (such) plea, I should establish a wring ordinance in the city?

Who gave you this (cow)? Did you buy or inherit her? How will you take the crop? Are you the farmer?

Know, uncle, that the acquisition (of property) is like agriculture: unless you sow (the land), the produce does not belong to you;

For you reap what you sow: that is yours. Otherwise, this act of injustice is proved against you.

Go, pay the Moslem’s money, and don’t speak falsely. Go, try to borrow (the money), and pay (it to him), and don’t seek (to do) wrong.”

“O King,” he replied, “thou art saying to me the same thing as the oppressors say.”
