And Solomon was David's heir. He said: "O ye people! We have been taught the speech of birds, and on us has been bestowed (a little) of all things: this is indeed Grace manifest (from Allah.)"

So he smiled, amused at her speech; and he said: "O my Lord! so order me that I may be grateful for Thy favours, which thou hast bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may work the righteousness that will please Thee: And admit me, by Thy Grace, to the ranks of Thy righteous Servants."

She was asked to enter the lofty Palace: but when she saw it, she thought it was a lake of water, and she (tucked up her skirts), uncovering her legs. He said: "This is but a palace paved smooth with slabs of glass." She said: "O my Lord! I have indeed wronged my soul: I do (now) submit (in Islam), with Solomon, to the Lord of the Worlds."

And he entered the city at a time when its people were not watching: and he found there two men fighting,- one of his own religion, and the other, of his foes. Now the man of his own religion appealed to him against his foe, and Moses struck him with his fist and made an end of him. He said: "This is a work of Evil (Satan): for he is an enemy that manifestly misleads!"

So he watered (their flocks) for them; then he turned back to the shade, and said:"O my Lord! truly am I in (desperate) need of any good that Thou dost send me!"

Now when Moses had fulfilled the term, and was travelling with his family, he perceived a fire in the direction of Mount Tur. He said to his family: "Tarry ye; I perceive a fire; I hope to bring you from there some information, or a burning firebrand, that ye may warm yourselves."

素莱曼继承达五德；他说：“众人啊！我们曾学会百鸟的语言，我们曾获得万物的享受，这确是明显的恩惠。”

素莱曼为她的话而诧异地微笑了，他说：“我的主啊！求你启示我，使我常常感谢你所赐我和我的父母的恩惠，并使我常常作你所喜悦的善功求你借你的恩惠使我得入你的善良的仆人之列。”

它逗留不久，就来了，它说：“我知道了你不知道的事，我从赛百邑带来了一个确实的消息给你。

我确已发现一个妇人，统治一族人，她获得万物的享受，她有一个庞大的宝座。

我发现她和她的臣民都舍真主而崇拜太阳，恶魔曾以他们的行为，迷惑他们，以至阻碍他们走上正道，所以他们不遵循正道。

这封信确是素莱曼寄来的，这封信的内容确是'奉至仁至慈的真主之名。

一个强梁的精灵说：“在你离席之前，我把它拿来给你。我对于这件事确是既胜任，又忠实可靠的。”

那深知天经的人说：“转瞬间，我就把它拿来给你。”当他看见那个宝座安置在他面前的时候，他说：“这是我的主的恩惠之一，他欲以此试验我，看我是感谢者，还是孤负者。感谢者，只为自己的利益而感谢；孤负者（须知）我的主确是无求的、确是尊荣的。”

当她来到的时候，有人说：“你的宝座象这样吗？”她说：“这好象是我的宝座。”在她之前，我们已获得知识，我们已是归顺的。

她舍真主而崇拜的，妨碍她，她本是属于不信道的民众。

有人对她说：“你进那宫殿去吧！”当她看见那座宫殿的时候她以为宫殿里是一片汪洋，（就提起衣裳）露出她的两条小腿。他说：“这确是用玻璃造成的光滑的宫殿。”她说：“我的主啊！我确是自欺的，我（现在）跟着素莱曼归顺真主--全世界的主。”

你们务必要舍女人而以男人满足性欲吗？不然，你们是无知识的民众。”

他们说：“你们把鲁特的信徒逐出城外，因为他们是纯洁的民众。”这是他们唯一的答复。

我们和我们的祖先，以前确已听过这一类的恐吓，这个只是古人的神话。”

天上地下，没有一件隐微的事物，不记录在一本明白的天经中。

在那日，我将从每个民族中，集合一群不信我的迹象的人，而他们是被排列得整整齐齐的。

行善的人将获得更佳的报酬，在那日，他们将得免于恐怖。

我本着真理，为信道的民众而对你叙述穆萨和法老的事迹。

以前，我禁止他吃任何人的奶，他的姐姐就说：“我介绍你们一家人，替你们养育他，他们是忠于他，好吗？”

乘城里的人疏忽的时候，他走进城来，并在城里发现了两个人正在争斗，这个是属于他的宗族，那个是属于他的敌人，属于同族的人要求他帮着对付他的敌人，穆萨就把那敌人一拳打死。他说：“这是由于恶魔的诱惑，恶魔确是迷人的明敌。”

有一个人，从城的极远处忙来说：“穆萨啊！臣仆们的确正在商议要杀你，你快出走吧。我确是忠于你的。”
