2. Which supplication the army of King Talut invocated to Allah Subhanahuthala before they met Jalut and his forces?
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاتة
بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِٱلرَّحِيمِAnswer:
رَبَّنَآ اَفْرِغْ عَلَيْنَا صَبْرًا وَّثَبِّتْ اَقْدَامَنَا وَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْکٰفِرِيْنَ
"Our Lord, pour down upon us patience, and make our steps firm and assist us against the unbelieving people." [2:250]
This is the prayer invoking for patience and perseverance during the trials from the enemies of Allah. It helps to remain faithful in the true religion of Allah.
Allah (Azza wa jall) says in Quran:
"So when Talut departed with the forces, he said: Surely Allah will try you with a river; whoever then drinks from it, he is not of me, and whoever does not taste of it, he is surely of me, except he who takes with his hand as much of it as fills the hand; but with the exception of a few of them they drank from it. So when he had crossed it, he and those who believed with him, they said: We have today no power against Jalut and his forces. Those who were sure that they would meet their Lord said: How often has a small party vanquished a numerous host by Allah's permission, and Allah is with the patient" [2:249]
Ibn Kathir in his thafsir mentioned that the army of King Talut had initially eighty thousand soldiers. The river, they crossed was the Shariah river that flowed between Jordan and Palestine. Their obedience was tested while crossing the river.
Whoever dranks more were not accompanied the King. And those who took water in the hollow of his hand and drank, followed him.
Ibn Jurayj stated that Ibn `Abbas commented, “Whoever took some of it (the river’s water) in the hollow of his hand, quenched his thirst; as for those who drank freely from it, their thirst was not quenched.”
The faithful and obedient persons in the army followed the King. Israelites (who remained) thought that they were few in the face of their enemy who were many then.
He and those who believed with him, said: “We have no power this day against Jalut (Goliath) and his hosts”.
So, their knowledgeable scholars strengthened their resolve by stating that Allah’s promise is true and that triumph comes from Allah Alone, not from the large numbers or the adequacy of the supplies. They said to them: "How often has a small group overcome a mighty host by Allah’s leave” And Allah is with As-Sabirin (the patient).
Allah's book thus continues: "So they put them to flight by Allah's permission. And Dawood slew Jalut, and Allah gave him kingdom and wisdom, and taught him of what He pleased" [2:251].
A small built shepherd Dawood without any sophisticated armour killed Goliath with a slingshot. He aimed at fully armed Goliath's forehead causing him to die. His Amy ran off when they witness the death of their mighty leader.
Talut promised that whoever killed Jalut, would marry his daughter and would share his kingship and authority. He kept his promise. The kingship was transferred to Dawood and In addition Allah granted Prophet hood.
And were it not for Allah's repelling some men with others, the earth would certainly be in a state of disorder; but Allah is Gracious to the creatures [2:251]
For had it not been that Allah checks one set of people by means of another, monasteries, churches, synagogues, and Masjids, wherein the Name of Allah is mentioned much, would surely, have been pulled down.) (22:40)
These are the communications of Allah: We recite them to you [O Muhammad! (SAW)] with truth; and most surely you are (one) of the apostles.[2:252].
