The Holy Quran 27:15 — Surah An-Naml

Arabic text

وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا دَاوُۥدَ وَسُلَيْمَـٰنَ عِلْمًا ۖ وَقَالَا ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى فَضَّلَنَا عَلَىٰ كَثِيرٍ مِّنْ عِبَادِهِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Translation

Indeed We granted knowledge (about how to give passing sound judgement) to Dawood عليه الصلاة والسلام and (his son) Sulaymaan عليه الصلاة والسلام. They both said, "All praise is due to Allaah Who has favoured us more than many of His bondsmen who have Imaan (by granting us Prophethood, wisdom and kingdom)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Dawud ﵇ and Sulayman ﵇ were granted knowledge: Sulayman ﵇ is the son of Dawud ﵇. To each of them, father and son, Allah granted a special share of knowledge befitting his rank. All the sciences, of the laws and rulings of the shariah, the principles of statecraft and government and so on, are included under this word.
