One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture said: "I will bring it to you within the twinkling of an eye!" then when [Sulaiman (Solomon)] saw it placed before him, he said: "This is by the Grace of my Lord to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! And whoever is grateful, truly, his gratitude is for (the good of) his ownself, and whoever is ungrateful, (he is ungrateful only for the loss of his ownself). Certainly! My Lord is Rich (Free of all wants), Bountiful."
Akasema mwenye ilimu ya Kitabu: Mimi nitakuletea kabla ya kupepesa jicho lako. Basi alipo kiona kimewekwa mbele yake, akasema: Haya ni katika fadhila zake Mola wangu Mlezi, ili anijaribu nitashukuru au nitakufuru. Na mwenye kushukuru, kwa hakika, anashukuru kwa manufaa ya nafsi yake; na anaye kufuru, kwa hakika Mola wangu Mlezi ni Mkwasi na Karimu.
