Zabūr is a divine scripture revealed to Prophet David (a). It does not contain legal rulings or a new religious law, but rather consists of admonitions, prayers, and supplications. According to certain verses of the Qur’an, Prophet David (a) is granted superiority over some other prophets due to receiving the Zabur. Some narrations also consider the Zabur among the spiritual trusts of the Imamate, and mention references to the Prophet Muhammad (s) within it.
Some researchers believe that the Psalms in the Old Testament are the same as the Zabur revealed to Prophet David (a), though they have undergone distortion. The Psalms are among the most revered religious and cultural sources in Judaism, comprising five books and 150 psalms, 73 of which are attributed to David. It is said that verse 105 of Quran 21 is the Qur’an’s only direct quotation from the Torah, and its content still appears in the Psalms.
According to some narrations, the Zabur is one of the 104 divine scriptures, revealed to Prophet David (a) on the 18th of Ramadan. According to Nasir Makarim Shirazi, author of Tafsir-i nimuna, the content of the Zabur was advice, prayers, and supplications, and it did not include new laws or religious rulings. Some narrations also regard the Zabur as one of the spiritual trusts of the Imamate, preserved in the White Jafr (Jafr-i Abyaz).
According to a narration from Prophet Muhammad (s), his name is mentioned in the Zabur as "Māḥī", meaning the one who erases idolatry from the earth. Some hadiths also refer to the mention of Imam 'Ali (a) in the Zabur. Another narration states that God gave the Prophet (s) the chapters of al-Mathani in place of the Zabur. Certain works, such as the Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya and some mystical poems by 'Attar Nishapuri have been called Zabur due to their devotional and eloquent content. Linguistically, the word Zabur means “written”..........
