83. Such was the argument We gave to Ibrhm against
his people We raise in rank whoever We will - your
Lord is all-Wise, all-Knowing.
84. We gave him Isq and Yaqb, each of whom We
guided, as We had guided N before, and among his
descendants were Dwd, Sulaymn, Ayyb, Ysuf,
Msa, and Harn - in this way We reward
those who do good.
85. Zakariyyah, Yaya, Eesa and Ilys - every one of
them was righteous -
86. Isml, al-Yasaa, Ynus and L. We favoured each
one of them over other people,
87. And also some of their forefathers, their offspring,
and their brothers: We chose them and guided them
on a straight path.
88. Such is Allahs guidance, with which He guides
whichever of His servants He will. If they had
associated other gods with Him, all their deeds would
have come to nothing.
89. Those are the ones to whom We gave the
Scripture, wisdom, and prophethood. Even if these
people now disbelieve in them, We have entrusted
them to others who do not disbelieve.
90. Those were the people Allah guided, [Prophet],
follow the guidance they received. Say, I ask no
reward for it from you: it is a lesson for all people.

17. Remember Our servant Dwd, a man of strength

who always turned to Us:
18. We made the mountains join him in glorifying Us at
sunset and sunrise;
19. And the birds, too, in flocks, all echoed his praise.
20. We strengthened his kingdom; We gave him
wisdom and a decisive way of speaking.
21. Have you heard the story of the two litigants who
climbed into his private quarters?
22. When they reached Dwd, he took fright, but they
said, Do not be afraid. We are two litigants, one of
whom has wronged the other: judge between us fairly
- do not be unjust - and guide us to the right path.
23. This is my brother. He had ninety-nine ewes and I
just the one, and he said, Let me take charge of her,
and overpowered me with his words.
42. Dwd said, He has done you wrong by demanding
to add your ewe to his flock. Many partners treat each
other unfairly. Those who sincerely believe and do
good deeds do not do this, but these are very few.
[Then] Dwd realized that We had been testing him,
and so he asked his Lord for forgiveness, fell down on
his knees, and repented:
25. We forgave him [his misdeed]. His reward will be
nearness to Us, a good place to return to.
26. Dwd, We have given you mastery over the land.
Judge fairly between people. Do not follow your
desires, lest they divert you from Allahs path: those
who wander from His path will have a painful torment
because they ignore the Day of Reckoning.
(d, 38:17-26)

78. And remember Dwd and Sulaymn, when they
gave judgement regarding the field into which sheep
strayed by night and grazed. We witnessed their
judgement,
79. And made Sulaymn understand the case [better],
though We gave sound judgement and knowledge to
both of them. We made the mountains and the birds
celebrate Our praises with Dwd - We did all these
things
 80. We taught him how to make coats of mail for the
benefit of you [people], to protect you in your wars,
but are you grateful for this?
81. We harnessed the stormy wind for Sulaymn, so
that it sped by his command to the land We had
blessed - We have knowledge of all things
82. And We made some of the jinn subservient to him,
to dive for him and do other works besides. We were
watching over them.

 15. We gave knowledge to Dwd and Sulaymn, and
they both said, Praise be to Allah, who has favoured us
over many of His believing servants.
16. Sulaymn succeeded Dwd. He said, People, we
have been taught the speech of birds, and we have
been given a share of everything: this is a clearly a
great favour.
17. Sulaymns hosts of jinn, men, and birds were
marshalled in ordered ranks before him,
18. And when they came to the Valley of the Ants, one
ant said, Ants! Go into your homes, in case Sulaymn
and his hosts unwittingly crush you.
19. Sulaymn smiled broadly at her words and said,
Lord, inspire me to be thankful for the blessings You
have granted me and my parents, and to do good
deeds that please You; admit me by Your grace into the
ranks of Your righteous servants.
20. Sulaymn inspected the birds and said, Why do I
not see the hoopoe? Is he absent?
21. I will punish him severely, or kill him, unless he
brings me a convincing excuse for his absence.
22. But the hoopoe did not stay away long: he came
and said, I have learned something you did not know: I
come to you from Sheba with firm news.
23. I found a woman ruling over the people, who has
been given a share of everything - she has a
magnificent throne
 24. [but] I found that she and her people worshipped
the sun instead of Allah. Satan has made their deeds
seem alluring to them, and diverted them from the
right path: they cannot find the right path.
25. Should they not worship Allah, who brings forth
what is hidden in the heavens and earth and knows
both what you people conceal and what you declare?
26. He is Allah, there is no god but Him, the Lord of the
mighty throne.
27. Sulaymn said, We shall see whether you are
telling the truth or lying.
28. Take this letter of mine and deliver it to them, then
withdraw and see what answer they send back.
29. The Queen of Sheba said, Counsellors, a gracious
letter has been delivered to me.
30. It is from Sulaymn, and it says, With the name of
Allah, the Merciful, the Especially Merciful,
31. Do not put yourselves above me, and come to me
in submission to Allah.
32. She said, Counsellors, give me your counsel in the
matter I now face: I only ever decide on matters in
your presence.
33. They replied, We possess great force and power in
war, but you are in command, so consider what orders
to give us.
34. She said, Whenever kings go into a city, they ruin it
and humiliate its leaders that is what they do -
 35. But I am going to send them a gift, then see what
answer my envoys bring back.
36. When her envoy came to Sulaymn, Sulaymn said,
What! Are you offering me wealth? What Allah has
given me is better than what He has given you, though
you rejoice in this gift of yours.
37. Go back to your people: we shall certainly come
upon them with irresistible forces, and drive them,
disgraced and humbled, from their land.
38. Then he said, Counsellors, which of you can bring
me her throne before they come to me in submission?
39. A powerful and crafty jinn replied, I will bring it to
you before you can even rise from your place. I am
strong and trustworthy enough,
40. But one of them who had some knowledge of the
Scripture said, I will bring it to you in the twinkling of
an eye. When Sulaymn saw it set before him, he said,
This is a favour from my Lord, to test whether I am
grateful or not: if anyone is grateful, it is for his own
good, if anyone is ungrateful, then my Lord is self-
sufficient and most generous.
41. Then he said, Disguise her throne, and we shall see
whether or not she recognizes it.
42. When she arrived, she was asked, Is this your
throne? She replied, It looks like it. [Sulaymn said],
We were given knowledge before her, and we devoted
ourselves to Allah;
 43. She was prevented by what she worshipped
instead of Allah, for she came from a disbelieving
people.
44. Then it was said to her, Enter the hall, but when
she saw it, she thought it was a deep pool of water,
and bared her legs. Sulaymn explained, It is just a hall
paved with glass, and she said, My Lord, I have
wronged myself: I devote myself, with Sulaymn, to
Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
(al-Naml, 27:15-44)

30. We gave Dwd: Sulaymn. He was an excellent
servant who always turned to Allah.
31. When well-bred light-footed horses were paraded
before him near the close of day,
32. He kept saying, My love of fine things is part of my
remembering my Lord! until it disappeared from sight.
33. Bring them back! [he said] and started to stroke
their legs and necks.
34. We certainly tested Sulaymn, reducing him to a
mere skeleton on his throne.
35. He turned to Us and prayed: Lord forgive me!
Grant me such power as no one after me will have
You are the Most Generous Provider.
36. So We gave him power over the wind, which at his
request ran gently wherever he willed,
 37. And the jinn - every kind of builder and diver
38. And others chained in fetters.
39. This is Our gift, so give or withhold as you wish
without account.
40. His reward will be nearness to Us, and a good place
to return to.

10. We graced Dwd with Our favour. We said, You

mountains, echo Allahs praises together with him, and
you birds, too. We softened iron for him,
11. Saying, Make coats of chain mail and measure the
links well. Do good, all of you, for I see everything
you do.
12. And [We subjected] the wind for Sulaymn. Its
outward journey took a month, and its return journey
likewise. We made a fountain of molten brass flow for
him, and some of the jinn worked under his control
with his Lords permission. If one of them deviated
from Our command, We let him taste the suffering
of the blazing flame.
13. They made him whatever he wanted - palaces,
a statues, basins as large as water troughs, fixed
cauldrons. We said, Work thankfully, family of Dwd,
for few of my servants are truly thankful.
14. Then, when We decreed Sulaymns death,
nothing showed the jinn he was dead, but a creature of
the earth eating at his stick; when he fell down they
realized - if they had known what was hidden they
would not have continued their demeaning labour.
(Saba, 34:10-14)

102. They followed what the evil ones had fabricated
about the Kingdom of Sulaymn instead. Not that
Sulaymn himself was a disbeliever, rather it was the
evil ones who were disbelievers. They taught
people witchcraft and what was revealed in Babylon to
the two angels Hr and Mr. Yet these two never
taught anyone without first warning him, We are sent
only to tempt do not disbelieve.
 From these two, they learned what can cause discord
between man and wife, although they harm no one
with it except by Allahs leave. They learned what
harmed them, not what benefited them, knowing full
well that whoever gained [this knowledge] would lose
any share in the Hereafter. Evil indeed is the [price] for
which they sold their souls, if only they knew.
103. If they had believed and been mindful of Allah,
their reward from Him would have been far better, if
only they knew.
(al-Baqarah, 2:102-103)

163. We have sent revelation to you [Prophet] as We
did to N and the prophets after him, to Ibrhm,
Isml, Isq, Yaqb, and the Tribes, to Eesa, Ayyb,
Ynus, Hrn, and Sulaymn - to Dwd We gave
the book [of Psalms]
164. to other messengers We have already
mentioned to you, and also to some We have not. And
to Msa, Allah spoke directly.
165. They were messengers bearing good news and
warning, so that mankind would have no excuse before
Allah, once the messengers had been sent:
Allah is Almighty and all-Wise.
(al-Nis, 4:163-165)
