The Ruling on Isra'iliyyat and the Story of Dawud

Question:
And Honorable Shaykh, may Allah inform you, what is the authenticity of the stories or the detailed accounts regarding the story of Dawud's daughter that is mentioned in Surat al-Sad, and how authentic is the report that he saw a woman and wanted to marry her, and so on, of the stories that are narrated in the transmission of tafsir which are not authentic regarding the prophets and the righteous, as I have seen in that, or...

Answer:
The stories about the Children of Israel, as al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir and others have mentioned, fall into three categories. What agrees with the Qur'an is true. The second category is what contradicts the Qur'an; this is false and is rejected. The third category is what the Qur'an has not testified to as false or true; in this, they paused. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the Children of Israel tell you something, do not believe them and do not deny them." The Israelites do not fall outside these three categories. What agrees with the Qur'an or the authentic Sunnah is true. What contradicts the Qur'an or the authentic Sunnah is false and is rejected. What the Qur'an has not testified to as true or false is one in which we pause; it is neither believed nor denied. The story of Dawud and the woman is false; it is false.
Because it casts doubt on one of the prophets of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), namely Dawud. It contradicts the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger regarding the infallibility of the prophets (peace and blessings be upon them) and the obligation to respect them. Therefore, it is a false story. Allah has not mentioned to us what this trial was that Dawud was tried with, so we remain silent about it. Yes, did He not mention to us the type of this trial? He thought that We had tried him, so he sought forgiveness from his Lord. What was the type of this trial for us?
Some scholars say that he hastened in his judgment before hearing the words of the second party. He said: before asking the second party. This is the error that occurred from him (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes, and in any case, this is general in the Qur'an, so we pause in it, while being certain of the purity of the Prophet of Allah, Dawud (peace be upon him). The Israelites are full of accusations against the prophets and smearing of the prophets, more than this, and may Allah protect us from that.
