وَحُشِرَ لِسُلَیْمَانَ جُنُودُهُ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالاِْنْسِ وَالطَّیْرِ فَهُمْ یُوزَعُونَ(( 17 ))

17- AND SOLOMON'S HOSTS OF JINN, MAN AND BIRD, WERE DISPOSED IN ORDER FOR HIM, AND THEY WERE IN MANY GROUPS.

حَتَّى إِذَا أَتَوْا عَلَى وَادِ النَّمْلِ قَالَتْ نَمْلَةٌ یَا أَیُّهَا النَّمْلُ ادْخُلُوا مَسَاکِنَکُمْ لاَ یَحْطِمَنَّکُمْ سُلَیْمَانُ وَجُنُودُهُ وَهُمْ لاَ یَشْعُرُونَ(( 18 ))

18- AT LENGTH, WHEN THEY CAME TO THE LAND OF THE ANTS, AN ANT SAID:ِ ``O, ANTS! ENTER YOUR HOUSES LEST SOLOMON AND HIS HOSTS MAY CRUSH YOU WHILE THEY ARE UNWARE.''

فَتَبَسَّمَ ضَاحِکاً مِّنْ قَوْلِهَا وَقَالَ رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِى أَنْ أَشْکُرَ نِعْمَتَکَ الَّتِى أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَىَّ وَعَلَى وَالِدَىَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحاً تَرْضَاهُ وَأَدْخِلْنِى بِرَحْمَتِکَ فِى عِبَادِکَ الصَّالِحِینَ(( 19 ))

19- THEN HE SMILED AT HER WORD, AND SAID:ِ ``MY LORD! INSPIRE ME HOW TO BE THANKFUL FOR YOUR BOUNTY THAT YOU HAVE BESTOWED ON ME AND ON MY PARENTS, AND THAT I MAY DO RIGHTEOUS DEEDS TO PLEASE YOU. AND ADMIT ME BY YOUR MERCY, AMONG YOUR RIGHTOUS SERVANTS.''
