Bukhari

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "A strong demon from the Jinns came to me yesterday suddenly, so as to spoil my prayer, but Allah enabled me to overpower him, and so I caught him and intended to tie him to one of the pillars of the Mosque so that all of you might see him, but I remembered the invocation of my brother Solomon: 'And grant me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after me.' (38.35) so I let him go cursed."

Very oft-returning and attentive. The saying of Solomon: "My Lord, grant me a kingdom such as shall not belong to anyone after me." And in Surah At-Tawbah, Allah the Exalted says: "And they followed what the devils used to recite during the reign of Solomon." And in Surah Saba, He said: "(We subjected) the wind to Solomon, its morning course was a month's journey and its evening course was a month's journey, and «قطر‏» meaning We made a fountain of molten brass flow for him («وأسلنا له عين القطر‏» meaning) «وأذبنا له عين الحديد»." "And among the jinn were those who worked before him by the permission of his Lord." Until the end of the verse «من محاريب‏». Mujahid said: «محاريب‏» are buildings that are less than palaces. «تماثيل» are images and basins, and «جواب‏» means cisterns like those made for camels. "And firmly fixed cauldrons." Until the verse «الشكور‏». Then when We decreed death for him, nothing indicated to them his death except a creature of the earth (a termite) which was eating his staff. So when he fell down, the jinn realized that he had died. Allah the Exalted's statement until «المهين‏». "Solomon said: I became distracted from the remembrance of my Lord because of the love of this wealth «فطفق مسحا‏», al-kh, meaning he began to pass his hand over the manes and the forelocks and hind legs of the horses." «الأصفاد» means «الوثاق‏» shackles, chains. Mujahid said: «الصافنات‏» is derived from «صفن الفرس», it is used when a horse stands on the tip of its hoof with one leg raised, «الجياد‏» means swift in running. «جسدا‏» means Satan (who sat on Solomon's throne wearing his ring). «رخاء‏» means gently, gladly. «حيث أصاب‏» means wherever they wished to go. «فامنن‏ أعط‏.‏‏» means, to whom He wills, He gives without account, without any hardship, without restriction.

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "A strong demon from the Jinns came to me yesterday suddenly, so as to spoil my prayer, but Allah enabled me to overpower him, and so I caught him and intended to tie him to one of the pillars of the Mosque so that all of you might see him, but I remembered the invocation of my brother Solomon: 'And grant me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after me.' (38.35) so I let him go cursed."

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "Solomon (the son of) David said, 'Tonight I will sleep with seventy ladies each of whom will conceive a child who will be a knight fighting for "Allah's Cause.' His companion said, 'If Allah will.' But Solomon did not say so; therefore none of those women got pregnant except one who gave birth to a half child." The Prophet further said, "If the Prophet Solomon had said it (i.e. 'If Allah will') he would have begotten children who would have fought in Allah's Cause." Shuaib and Ibn Abi Az-Zinad said, "Ninety (women) is more correct (than seventy).

Narrated Abu Dhaar: I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Which mosque was built first?" He replied, "Al-Masjid-ul-Haram." I asked, "Which (was built) next?" He replied, "Al-Masjid-ul-Aqs-a (i.e. Jerusalem)." I asked, "What was the period in between them?" He replied, "Forty (years)." He then added, "Wherever the time for the prayer comes upon you, perform the prayer, for all the earth is a place of worshipping for you."

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "My example and the example o the people is like that of a person who lit a fire and let the moths, butterflies and these insects fall in it."

He also said, "There were two women, each of whom had a child with her. A wolf came and took away the child of one of them, whereupon the other said, 'It has taken your child.' The first said, 'But it has taken your child.' So they both carried the case before David who judged that the living child be given to the elder lady. So both of them went to Solomon bin David and informed him (of the case). He said, 'Bring me a knife so as to cut the child into two pieces and distribute it between them.' The younger lady said, 'May Allah be merciful to you! Don't do that, for it is her (i.e. the other lady's) child.' So he gave the child to the younger lady."
