The Holy Quran, Sura Sad - ص
Ayah |
|---|
31 إِذْ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْعَشِيِّ الصَّافِنَاتُ الْجِيَادُ Behold, there were brought before him, at eventide coursers of the highest breeding, and swift of foot; |
32 فَقَالَ إِنِّي
أَحْبَبْتُ حُبَّ الْخَيْرِ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّي حَتَّى تَوَارَتْ بِالْحِجَابِ And he said, "Truly do I love the love of good, with a view to the glory of my Lord,"- until (the sun) was hidden in the veil (of night): |
33
رُدُّوهَا عَلَيَّ فَطَفِقَ مَسْحاً بِالسُّوقِ وَالْأَعْنَاقِ "Bring them back to me." then began he to pass his hand over (their) legs and their necks. |
34 وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا
سُلَيْمَانَ وَأَلْقَيْنَا عَلَى كُرْسِيِّهِ جَسَداً ثُمَّ أَنَابَ And We did try Solomon: We placed on his throne a body (without life); but he did turn (to Us in true devotion): |
35 قَالَ رَبِّ اغْفِرْ
لِي وَهَبْ لِي مُلْكاً لَّا يَنبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ مِّنْ بَعْدِي إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَهَّابُ He said, "O my Lord! Forgive me, and grant me a kingdom which, (it may be), suits not another after me: for Thou art the Grantor of Bounties (without measure). |
36
فَسَخَّرْنَا لَهُ الرِّيحَ تَجْرِي بِأَمْرِهِ رُخَاء حَيْثُ أَصَابَ Then We subjected the wind to his power, to flow gently to his order, Whithersoever he willed,- |
37 وَالشَّيَاطِينَ
كُلَّ بَنَّاء وَغَوَّاصٍ As also the evil ones, (including) every kind of builder and diver,- |
38 وَآخَرِينَ مُقَرَّنِينَ فِي الْأَصْفَادِ As also others bound together in fetters. |
39 هَذَا
عَطَاؤُنَا فَامْنُنْ أَوْ أَمْسِكْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ "Such are Our Bounties: whether thou bestow them (on others) or withhold them, no account will be asked." |
40 وَإِنَّ لَهُ عِندَنَا لَزُلْفَى وَحُسْنَ مَآبٍ And he enjoyed, indeed, a Near Approach to Us, and a beautiful Place of (Final) Return. |
