۞ وَهَلْ أَتَىٰكَ نَبَؤُا۟ ٱلْخَصْمِ إِذْ تَسَوَّرُوا۟ ٱلْمِحْرَابَ
Wa hal ataaka naba'ul khasm; iz tasawwarul mihraab
Czy doszło do ciebie opowiadanie o prowadzących spór? Oto oni wspięli się po murze do sanktuarium.
Has the story of the disputants reached you — when they climbed over the wall into the prayer chamber?
The question turns outward, putting to the listener a story about Dawud rather than continuing the list of what he was given. Khasm is a single word doing plural duty, covering both litigants at once before verse 22 splits them into two speakers. Commentators disagree over who they were, angels sent in human form to bring the case, or ordinary men, and the climb over the wall is what makes the visit strange either way.
