Zabur () is, according to Islam, the holy book of David, one of the holy books revealed by Allah before the Quran, alongside others such as the Tawrāh (Torah) and the Injīl (Gospel). Muslim tradition maintains that the Zabur mentioned in the Quran is the Psalms of Dawud (David in Islam).

The Christian monks and ascetics of pre-Islamic Arabia may be associated in pre-Islamic Arabic poetry with texts called mazmour, which in other contexts may refer to palm leaf documents. This has been interpreted by some as referring to psalters.
Among many Christians in the Middle East and in South Asia, the word mazmour (Hindustani <small>(Nastaʿlīq)</small>, <small>(Devanagari)</small>) is used for the Psalms of David in the Hebrew Bible. The Hebrew term is mizmor מזמור.
Etymology
The Arabic word wiktionary:زبور| means "book", "inscription", or "writing." In early sources it may refer to Ancient South Arabian writing on palm leaves.
Mention in the Quran
In the Qur'an, the Zabur is mentioned by name three times. The Qur'an itself says nothing about the Zabur specifically, except that it was revealed to Dawud and that in the Zabur is written "My servants the righteous, shall inherit the earth".
