PROPHET DA'UD AND PROPHET SULEIMAN

(Peace be upon them)

By the time when divine and justly government is established, judgment shall be done with hidden assistance until no one is able through false witness and oath to take right in order to cause an oppression and inequity to others.

Base on this fundamental, the honourable remainder of Allah's proof (May our souls be sacrifice for him) shall not need any witness in his judgment and he will judge base on his knowledge in the manner Prophet Da'ud has done.

Before quoting any narration in this respect we need to explain a point concerning Prophet Da'ud and Suleiman (Peace be upon them).

Some Prophet among the Prophets of Allah possessed distinctive attributes and among them is Prophet Da'ud and Prophet Suleiman (Peace be upon them). This is a reality which the holy Qur'an has expounded.

حيث يصرح الباري عز وجل في محكم كتابه العزيز {وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا دَاوُدَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ عِلْماً وَقَالا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي فَضَّلَنَا عَلَى كثِيرٍ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ}.

Almighty Allah in Surah al-An'am concerning both of them has clearly stated: "Certainly We gave David and Solomon knowledge, and they said, ' All praise belong to Allah, who grant us an advantage over many of his faithful servants"[1]

وجاء في سورة الأنبياء أيضاً: {وَكلّاً آتَيْنَا حُكماً وَعِلْماً}.

Almighty Allah also said concerning these two great men:

"And to each We gave judgment and knowledge"[2].

وقال أيضاً في سورة صلی الله علیه وآله عن النبي داود: {يَا دَاوُدُ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَاك خَلِيفَةً فِي الأَرْضِ فَاحْكمْ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِالْحَقِّ...}.

Regards Prophet Da'ud in Surah Sad' He said: "O' Da'ud! Indeed We have made you a vicegerent on the earth. So judge between people with justice"[3]

Base on the favour and grace Almighty Allah has bestowed upon Prophet Da'ud and Suleiman (Peace be upon them) they are awared of incidents which others doesn't have its information. Base on this fundamental their judgment and government enjoyed exceptional specialties and in this respect those great men doesn't need any witness in their judgment.
