Validity of the story of Prophet Dawud with the wife of his commander


A: What many exegetes say about the story of Dawud (peace be upon him) that he fell in love with his army commander’s wife is not true. (Part No. 4; Page No. 299) Shaykh Al-Shinqity (may Allah be merciful to him) points out in "Adwa’ Al-Bayan fi Tafsir Al-Qur’an" that all that is mentioned about Prophet Dawud (peace be upon him), which certainly does not befit his status as a prophet, is attributed to Israelite narrations (reported from the Jews) that are untrustworthy and unreliable. Also, what has allegedly been reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him) in this regard is not authentic either. Therefore, we recommend the aforementioned book "Adwa’ Al-Bayan fi Tafsir Al-Qur’an", as it includes further details about this matter.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
