وَلِسُلَیْمَانَ الرِّیحَ غُدُوُّهَا شَهْرٌ وَرَوَاحُهَا شَهْرٌ وَأَسَلْنَا لَهُ عَیْنَ الْقِطْرِ وَمِنَ الْجِنِّ مَنْ یَعْمَلُ بَیْنَ یَدَیْهِ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِ وَمَنْ یَزِغْ مِنْهُمْ عَنْ أَمْرِنَا نُذِقْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ السَّعِیرِ(( 12 ))

12- AND TO SOLOMON (WE SUBDUED) THE WIND. ITS MORNING COURSE WAS A MONTH'S (JOURNEY), AND ITS EVENING COURSE WAS A MONTH'S (JOURNEY TOO).

      AND WE MADE FOR HIM THE SPRING OF (MOLTEN) COPPER TO FLOW. AND OF THE JINNS WERE SOME WHO WORKED IN FRONT OF HIM WITH THE PERMISSION OF HIS LORD; AND IF ANY OF THEM TURNED AWAY FROM OUR COMMAND, WE MADE HIM TO TASTE OF THE TORMENT OF BURNING FIRE.

یَعْمَلُونَ لَهُ مَا یَشَاءُ مِنْ مَحَارِیبَ وَتَمَاثِیلَ وَجِفَان کَالْجَوَابِ وَقُدُور رَاسِیَات اعْمَلُوا آلَ دَاوُودَ شُکْراً وَقَلِیلٌ مِنْ عِبَادِىَ الشَّکُورُ(( 13 ))

13- MAKING FOR HIM WHAT HE WISHED OF SANCTUARIES, SCULPTURES, TANKS, AND FIXED COLDRONS.

      BE THANKFUL O, YOU HOUSEHOLD OF DAVID; AND FEW OF MY SERVANTS ARE THANKFUL.

فَلَمَّا قَضَیْنَا عَلَیْهِ الْمَوْتَ مَا دَلَّهُمْ عَلَى مَوْتِهِ إِلاَّ دَابَّةُ الاَْرْضِ تَأْکُلُ مِنسَأَتَهُ فَلَمَّا خَرَّ تَبَیَّنَتِ الْجِنُّ أَنْ لَوْ کَانُوا یَعْلَمُونَ الْغَیْبَ مَا لَبِثُوا فِی الْعَذَابِ الْمُهِینِ(( 14 ))

14- WHEN WE DECREED THAT HE SHOULD DIE, NO ONE INFORMED THEM OF HIS DEATH EXCEPT A MOVING CREATURE OF THE EARTH, EATING HIS STAFF. THEN WHEN HE FELL DOWN, IT WAS MADE CLEAR FOR THE JINNS, THAT IF THEY KNEW THE UNSEEN THEY WOULD NOT HAVE TARRIED IN A HUMILIATING TORMENT.
