قال الذي عنده علم من الكتاب انا اتيك به قبل ان يرتد اليك طرفك فلما راه مستقرا عنده قال هذا من فضل ربي ليبلوني ااشكر ام اكفر ومن شكر فانما يشكر لنفسه ومن كفر فان ربي غني كريم

Said one who had knowledge Of the Book: "I will Bring it to thee within The twinkling of an eye!" Then when (Solomon) saw it Placed firmly before him, He said: "This is By the grace of my Lord! To test me whether I am Grateful or ungrateful! And if any is grateful, Truly his gratitude is (a gain) For his own soul; but if Any is ungrateful, truly My Lord is Free of all Needs, Supreme in Honour!"
