Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34017 — What Allah gave Sulayman bin Dawud
٣٤٠١٧ - حدثنا محمد بن فضيل عن حصين عن عبد اللَّه بن شداد قال: كان كرسي سليمان يوضع على الريح وكراسي من أراد من الجن والإنس، فاحتاج إلى الماء فلم يعلموا بمكانه، وتفقد الطير عند ذلك فلم يجد الهدهد فتوعده، وكان عذابه نتفَه وتشميسه، قال: فلما جاء استقبله الطير فقالوا: (قد توعدك) (١) سليمان، فقال الهدهد: (٢) استثنى، قالوا: نعم، ألا أن (يجيء) (٣) بعذر، وكان عذره أن جاء بخبر صاحبة سبأ قال: فكتب إليهم (٤) سليمان: ﴿(٥) بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ (٣٠) أَلَّا تَعْلُوا ⦗٥٠٩⦘ عَلَيَّ وَأْتُونِي مُسْلِمِينَ﴾، قال: فأقبلت بلقيس، فلما كانت على قدر فرسخ قال سليمان: ﴿أَيُّكُمْ يَأْتِينِي بِعَرْشِهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَأْتُونِي مُسْلِمِينَ﴾ قال عفريت من الجن: ﴿أَنَا آتِيكَ بِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقُومَ مِنْ مَقَامِكَ وَإِنِّي عَلَيْهِ لَقَوِيٌّ أَمِينٌ﴾ قال: فقال: (سليمان) (٦) أريد أعجل من ذلك، (قال) (٧) الذي عنده علم من الكتاب: ﴿أَنَا آتِيكَ بِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْتَدَّ إِلَيْكَ طَرْفُكَ﴾ [النمل: ٣٠ - ٣١، ٣٨، ٣٩، ٤٠].
Abdullah bin Shaddad said: The chair of Sulayman (peace be upon him) would be placed on the wind, and along with it the chairs of whichever jinn and humans he wished would be placed. He needed water, but the people did not know where it was. At that point he searched among the birds and did not find the hoopoe, so he threatened it, and its punishment was to be that its feathers would be plucked and it would be left in the sun. When it came, the birds met it and said: Sulayman (peace be upon him) has announced a punishment for you. The hoopoe said: Did he make any exception? They said: Yes, that you present some excuse. Its excuse was that it had come after seeing the affair of the queen of Saba. So Sulayman (peace be upon him) wrote to them: "It is from Sulayman, and it is in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful: Do not exalt yourselves against me, but come to me in submission." He said: Bilqis set out, and when she was at a distance of one farsakh, Sulayman (peace be upon him) said: "Which of you will bring me her throne before they come to me in submission?" A powerful one of the jinn said: "I will bring it to you before you rise from your place; indeed, I am strong and trustworthy for this." Sulayman (peace be upon him) said: I want it faster than that. "The one who had knowledge of the Book said: I will bring it to you before your glance returns to you" [Al-Naml: 30-31, 38, 39, 40].
