When he (peace and blessings be upon him) reached the place of prostration, he came down from the pulpit and prostrated, and the people prostrated along with him (peace and blessings be upon him). Then on another day he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited it again, and when he reached the verse of prostration, the people got ready to prostrate. Upon this the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is the repentance of a prophet (Sayyiduna Dawud, peace be upon him), but I saw that you have got ready to prostrate." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) came down and prostrated, and the people also prostrated along with him (peace and blessings be upon him).

Abu Jahl (hurriedly) sat there so as to prevent him (peace and blessings be upon him) from sitting there. Then they complained to Abu Talib about him (peace and blessings be upon him). Abu Talib said: "O my nephew, what do you want from your people?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O uncle, I want from them only one word by which the Arabs will submit to them and the non-Arabs will pay them the jizyah." They asked: "Only one word?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes, only one word." They asked: "What is it?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "'La ilaha illallah' (There is no god but Allah)." The narrator said: Upon this they began to say: Has he made all the gods into a single god? This is indeed a strange thing! And these verses were revealed concerning them: from "Sad.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: Whatever trial befell Sayyiduna Dawud (peace be upon him) after the decree was only because of something about himself that pleased him. That was that he said: O my Lord, there is no hour of the night or day in which someone of the family of Dawud is not worshipping You, praying to You, or glorifying You or proclaiming Your greatness; and he mentioned several other things. Allah Almighty disliked this and said: O Dawud, all of this is only by My enabling; had it not been for My help, you would not have had the strength for it. By My might and majesty, I shall surely leave you to yourself for one day. He said: O Lord, then tell me about that day. And on that very day he fell into the trial. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

O my Lord, make Your love dearer to me than my own self, my family and cold water)."
