所罗门继承了大卫的先知身份和王权。这种继承并非物质上的遗产,因为先知不会将财产留给后人。他们的财产应当施舍给贫困和需要帮助的人,而不是留给亲属。先知穆罕默德ﷺ说:"先知的遗产不被继承,我们所留下的,都作为施舍。"(《布哈里圣训实录》)

Solomon inherited David's prophethood and dominion. This was not a material inheritance, as prophets do not bequeath their property. It is given away to the poor and needy, not to their relatives. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: "The prophets' property will not be inherited, and whatever we leave is to be used for charity." (Sahih Al-Bukhari).

"我确已把知识赐予达五德和索罗门，他们两人都说：'一切颂扬，全归真主，祂使我们超越了许多信士仆人。'索罗门继承了达五德的（知识）。他说：'人类啊！我们已被教授了鸟类的语言，各样事物也都赐给了我们。这确是明显的恩典（来自真主）。'索罗门面前聚集了他的精灵、人类和飞禽大军，它们都排列整齐，列队前进。"（古兰经 27:15-17）

"And indeed We gave knowledge to David and Solomon, and they both said: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has preferred us above many of His believing slaves!" And Solomon inherited (the knowledge of) David. He said: "O mankind! We have been taught the language of birds, and on us have been bestowed all things. This, verily, is an evident grace (from Allah)." And there were gathered before Solomon his hosts of jinns and men, and birds, and they were all set in battle order (marching forwards). (Ch 27:15-17 Quran).

父亲去世后,所罗门继承了王位。他向真主祈求一个国度,是他之后任何人都不曾拥有的,真主应允了他的祈求。除了智慧之外,真主还赐予所罗门许多能力:他能驾驭风,能听懂飞禽走兽的语言并与之交谈。真主指示他教导人类和精灵开采大地、提炼矿物,以制作工具和武器。真主还赐予他一座铜矿,在当时那是一种稀有的金属。

After his father's death, Solomon became king. He begged Allah for a kingdom such as none after him would have, and Allah granted his wish. Besides wisdom, Allah had blessed Solomon with many abilities. He could command the winds and understand and talk to birds and animals. Allah directed him to teach both men and jinns to mine the earth and extract its minerals to make tools and weapons. He also favored him with a mine of copper, which was a rare metal in those days.

在他所处的时代，马是普遍的交通工具。它们对国防极为重要，用来载运士兵、运送补给和战争器械。这些牲畜得到精心照料，训练有素。有一天，所罗门正在检阅他马厩中的一队马匹。马匹的健壮、俊美和姿态使他十分着迷，他不住地抚摸并欣赏它们。太阳快要落山了，中间礼拜的时间已经过去。他意识到这一点后，高声说道："我确实更爱这些尘世的美好之物，胜过对我主的侍奉！把它们还给我。"

During his time horses were the common mode of transportation. They were very essential for defense, to carry soldiers and cart provisions and weapons of war. The animals were well cared for and well trained. One day Solomon was reviewing a parade of his stable. The fitness, beauty and posture of the horses fascinated him so much that he kept on stroking and admiring them. The sun was nearly setting, and the time for the middle prayer was passing by. When he realized this, he exclaimed: "I surely love the finer things of life than the service of my Lord! Return them to me."

万能的真主启示说：

Almighty Allah revealed:

"我将所罗门赐予大卫。他是多么优秀的仆人！他确实常常悔罪归向（我）。当傍晚时分，骏美良马被牵到他面前（用于主道上的圣战）。他说：'唉！我因贪爱这些良马，而忘记了我的主（我的晡礼），直到太阳隐没于夜幕之中。'然后他说：'把它们牵回到我这里来。'于是他开始抚摸它们的腿和颈项（直到展示结束）。"

"And to David We gave Solomon. How excellent a slave! Verily, he was ever oft returning in repentance (to Us)! When there were displayed before him, in the afternoon, well-trained horses of the highest breed (for jihad in Allah's cause). And he said: "Alas! I did love the good (these horses) instead of remembering my Lord (in my 'Asr prayer)" till the time was over, and the sun had hidden in the veil of the night. Then he said: "Bring them (horses) back to me." Then he began to pass his hand over their legs and their necks (till the end of the display).

我们确实考验了所罗门,把一个身体放在他的宝座上(那是一个恶魔,因此他暂时失去了王国),但他确实回归了(依真主的恩典,回到了他的宝座和王国),并以顺服和悔罪之心归向真主。他说:"我的主啊!请你赦宥我,并赐给我一个王国,那是我之后任何人都不配拥有的。你确是大施赐者。"于是,我们使风服从他,他想往哪里吹,风便依他的命令轻柔地吹向哪里;还有精灵中的恶魔,包括各种建造者和潜水者,以及其他被锁链捆绑的(恶魔)也都服从他。(真主对所罗门说):"这是我的恩赐,你可以施予,也可以保留,不会被追问。"实则,他在我们这里享有亲近的地位,并有美好的归宿——乐园。

And indeed We did try Solomon and We placed on his throne Jasadan (a devil, so he lost his kingdom for a while) but he did return (to his throne and kingdom by the Grace of Allah and he did return) to Allah with obedience and in repentance. He said: "My Lord! Forgive me, and bestow upon me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after me. Verily, You are the Bestower." So, We subjected to him the wind, it blew gently to his order whithersoever he willed, and also the devils from the jinns including every kind of builder and diver, and also other bound in fetters. (Saying of Allah to Solomon): "This is Our gift, so spend you or withhold, no account will be asked." And verily, he enjoyed a near access to Us, and a good final return Paradise.

(Ch38:30-40 Quran)

(Ch38:30-40 Quran).

有一天,所罗门召集他的军队,这支军队由人类、精灵、飞鸟和走兽的不同部队组成。他率领他们前往阿斯喀伦之地。

One day Solomon gathered his army, which had different battalions of men, jinns, birds, and animals. He marched them to the country of Askalon.

当他们经过一个山谷时,一只蚂蚁看见了逼近的军队,便大声呼喊,警告其他蚂蚁:"快回你们的洞穴去!否则,所罗门和他的军队可能在不知情的情况下把你们踩死!"所罗门听到蚂蚁的呼喊,笑了起来。他很高兴,因为这只蚂蚁知道他是一位先知,不会故意伤害真主的创造物。他感谢真主拯救了蚂蚁的性命。

While they were passing through a valley, an ant saw the approaching army and cried out to warn the other ants: "Run to your homes! Otherwise, unaware, Solomon and his army might crush you!" Solomon, hearing the cry of the ant, smiled. He was glad that the ant knew him to be a prophet who would not intentionally harm Allah's creation. He thanked Allah for saving the ants' lives.

安拉至高无上说：“为苏莱曼集合了他的精灵、人类和飞禽军队，各按队伍编排。直到他们走到蚂蚁的山谷，一只蚂蚁说：‘蚂蚁们啊！进入你们的巢穴，免得苏莱曼和他的军队在不知不觉中把你们践踏。’他（苏莱曼）听了她的话，不禁微笑，并说：‘我的主啊！求你启示我，赐我能力，使我感谢你赐予我和我父母的恩惠，并使我行你所喜悦的善功，求你以你的慈恩使我进入你的善良仆人之列。’”（《古兰经》27:17-19）

Allah the Almighty narrated: And there were gathered before Solomon his hosts of jinns and men, and birds, and they all were set in battle order (marching forwards). Till, when they came to a valley of the ants, one of the ants said: "O ants! Enter your dwellings, lest Solomon and his hosts crush you, while they perceive not." So he (Solomon) smiled, amused at her speech and said: "My Lord! Inspire and bestow upon me the power and ability that I maybe grateful for Your Favors which You have bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds that will please You, and admit me by Your Mercy among Your righteous slaves." (Ch 27:17-19 Quran).

在耶路撒冷,所罗门在一块巨大的岩石上建造了一座美丽的圣殿,以吸引人们崇拜安拉。如今,这座建筑被称为"岩石圆顶清真寺"。从那里,一大批追随者与所罗门一同前往麦加的禁寺朝觐。他们完成朝觐后,前往也门,抵达了萨那城。所罗门对他们将水引至城市各处的巧妙方法印象深刻。他热切希望在自己的国家建造类似的供水系统,但当地的泉水不够。

In Jerusalem, on a huge rock, Solomon built a beautiful temple to draw the people to worship Allah. Today this building is known as "The Dome of the Rock." From there, a large band of followers joined Solomon on pilgrimage to the Holy Mosque in Mecca. After they had completed their hajj, they traveled to Yemen and arrived in the city of San'a. Solomon was impressed by their clever method of channeling water all over their cities. He was keen to build similar water systems in his own country but did not have enough springs.

他出发去寻找戴胜鸟，这种鸟能够探知地下的水源。他向四面八方发出信号，要求戴胜鸟前来见他，但到处都找不到它。他怒不可遏，宣布说：如果这只鸟不能提出充分的理由来解释自己的缺席，他必将严厉地惩罚它。

He set out to find the hoopoe bird, which could detect water under the ground. He sent signals all over the hoopoe to call on him, but it was nowhere to be found. In anger, he declared that unless the bird had a good reason for its absence, he would punish it severely.

最终，戴胜鸟来到所罗门面前，解释了它迟到的原因。“我发现了一件您不知道的事情。我带着重要的消息从示巴（Sab'a）而来。”所罗门感到好奇，怒气也消了。这只鸟继续说道：“示巴由一位名叫比尔吉斯（Bilkis）的女王统治，她拥有一切应有之物，还有一把华丽的宝座。”

The hoopoe eventually came to Solomon and explained the reason for its delay. "I have discovered something of which you are not aware. I have come from Sheba (Sab'a) with important news." Solomon became curious, and his anger subsided. The bird continued: "Sab'a is ruled by a queen named Bilkis (Bilqis), who has plenty of everything, including a splendid throne.

“尽管她们拥有如此丰厚的财富，撒旦仍然进入了她的心，也进入了她子民的心。她完全支配着他们的思想。我震惊地得知，他们竟然崇拜太阳，而不崇拜全能的安拉。”为了核实戴胜鸟所说的情况，所罗门派这只鸟带着一封信去见女王。他吩咐这只鸟暗中躲藏，并观察一切。

But in spite of all this wealth, Satan has entered her heart and the hearts of her people. She rules their minds completely. I was shocked to learn that they worship the sun instead of Allah the Almighty." To check the hoopoe's information, Solomon sent a letter to the queen with the bird. He instructed the bird to remain hidden and to watch everything.

戴胜鸟把信放在女王面前，然后飞走躲藏起来。她兴奋地打开信，读了起来：

The hoopoe dropped the letter in front of the queen and flew away to hide. She excitedly opened and read it:

"它确实出自所罗门，其内容是：'奉至仁至慈的安拉之名。你们不可对我傲慢，而要顺服地来见我。'"（古兰经 27:30-31）

"Verily! It is from Solomon, and verily! It reads: 'In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, and Most Merciful; be you not exalted against me, but come to me as Muslims (true believers who submit with full submission).'" ( Ch 27:30-31 Quran).

女王非常不安，急忙召集了她的谋臣。他们的反应就像面对挑战一样，因为他们感到有人在向他们挑衅，暗示着战争与失败，并要求他们接受他的条件。

The queen was very disturbed and hurriedly summoned her advisors. They reacted as to a challenge, for they felt that there was someone challenging them, hinting at war and defeat, and asking them to submit to his conditions.

他们告诉她，他们只能提供建议，但采取行动的决定权在她手中。她察觉到他们想以战斗来迎接所罗门的入侵威胁。然而，她对他们说：

They told her that they could only offer advice, but it was her right to command action. She sensed that they wanted to meet Solomon's invasion threat with a battle. However, she told them:

“和平与友好更好、更明智；战争只会带来屈辱，奴役人民，毁坏美好的事物。我已决定从我们最珍贵的宝藏中挑选礼物送给所罗门。负责送礼的侍臣也将有机会了解所罗门及其强大的军力。”

"Peace and friendship are better and wiser; war only brings humiliation, enslaves people and destroys the good things. I have decided to send gifts to Solomon, selected from our most precious treasure. The courtiers who will deliver the gifts will also have an opportunity to learn about Solomon and his military mighty."

所罗门的侦察队把比勒基斯的使者带着礼物前来的消息告诉了他。他立刻意识到，女王是派她的人来探察虚实的，于是下令集结军队。比勒基斯的使者走进装备精良的军队之中，他们意识到，与所罗门王宫的王国相比，他们的财富不值一提：宫殿的地面由檀木制成，并镶嵌着黄金。

Solomon's reconnaissance team brought him the news of the arrival of Bilkis' messengers with a gift. He immediately realized that the queen had sent her men on a probing mission thus, he gave orders to rally the army. The envoys of Bilqis, entering amidst the well-equipped army, realized that their wealth was nothing in comparison to that of the kingdom of Solomon's palace floors, which were made of sandalwood and inlaid with gold.

他们注意到所罗门正在检阅他的军队，对军队的人数与种类之多感到惊讶，其中有狮子、老虎和飞鸟。使者们惊叹地站在那里，意识到自己面对的是一支不可抗拒的军队。

They noticed Solomon surveying his army, and they were surprised at the number and variety of soldiers, which included lions, tigers, and birds. The messengers stood in amazement, realizing that they were in front of an irresistible army.

使者们惊叹于周围的辉煌景象。他们急切地呈上女王珍贵的礼物，并告诉所罗门，女王希望他能接受这些礼物，作为友好的表示。他们对他的反应感到震惊：他甚至没有要求打开盛放礼物的容器的盖子！他对他们说："真主已赐予我丰厚的财富、广阔的国度和先知的使命。

The envoys marveled at the splendor surrounding them. They eagerly presented their queen's precious gifts and told Solomon that the queen wished that he would accept them as an act of friendship. They were shocked by his reaction: he did not even ask to open the covers of the containers! He told them: "Allah hagiven me plenty of wealth, a large kingdom, and prophethood.

因此,我不为贿赂所动。我唯一的目标是传播对独一真主——安拉的信仰,即认主独一(Tawheed)。”他还吩咐他们把礼物带回去交还女王,并告诉她:如果她不停止这种崇拜,他就将连根拔除她的王国,并把她的子民驱逐出这片土地。

I am, therefore, beyond bribery. My only objective is to spread the belief in Tawheed, the Oneness of Allah." He also directed them to take back the gifts to the queen and to tell her that if she did not stop her kind of worship he would uproot her kingdom and drive its people out of the land.

女王的使者带着礼物回来，转达了信息。他们还向她讲述了所见的奇妙事物。女王并没有因此动怒，而是决定亲自去拜访所罗门。

The queen's envoys returned with the gifts and delivered the message. They also told her of the wonderful things they had seen. Instead of taking offense, she decided to visit Solomon.

她带着她的王室官员和仆人离开了示巴，并先派遣一名使者去告知所罗门，说她正在前往与他相见的路上。

Accompanied by her royal officials and servants, she left Sheba, sending a messenger ahead to inform Solomon that she was on her way to meet him.

Sulayman (SWT) asked the jinn in his service whether any of them could bring her throne to his palace before she arrived. One of them said: "I will bring it to you before you rise from your seat." Sulayman did not respond to this offer; it seemed he was waiting for a faster means. The jinn competed with one another to please him. One of them, named Ifrit, said: "I will fetch it for you in the twinkling of an eye!" No sooner had this one, who had knowledge of the Book, finished his words than the throne stood before Sulayman. The task had indeed been completed in the blink of an eye.

Solomon asked the jinns in his employ whether anyone among them could bring her throne to he palace before she arrived. One of them said; "I will bring it to you before this sitting is over." Solomon did not react to this offer; it appeared that he was waiting for a faster means. The jinns competed with each other to please him. One of them named Ifrit said: "I will fetch it for you in the twinkling of an eye!" No sooner had this one - who had the knowledge of the Book - finished his phrase than the throne stood before Solomon. The mission had, indeed, been completed in the blinking of an eye.

所罗门的宝座位于巴勒斯坦,而比勒基斯的王座originally位于也门,两者相距两千英里。这是与所罗门同坐的一人所行的一个伟大奇迹。 Correction: the sentence should read fully in Chinese: 所罗门的宝座位于巴勒斯坦,而比勒基斯的王座却在也门,两者相距两千英里。这是与所罗门同坐的一人所行的一个伟大奇迹。

Solomon's seat was in Palestine, and the throne of Bilqis had been in Yemen, two thousand miles away. This was a great miracle performed by one of those sitting with Solomon.

我们的主、全能的安拉在《古兰经》中为我们讲述了这样一个故事：

Almighty Allah told us this story in the Quran:

他检阅了群鸟,说:"我怎么看不见戴胜呢?难道它是缺席者吗?我必定要严厉惩罚它,或者宰了它,除非它给我提出明确的理由。"戴胜没有离开多久,就飞来说:"我已经知晓了(一件事的真相)。

" He inspected the birds, and said: "What is the matter that I see not a hoopoe? Or is he among the absentees? I will surely punish him with a severe torment, or slaughter him, unless he brings me a clear reason." But the hoopoe stayed not long, he came up and said: "I have grasped (the knowledge of a thing)

"……你所未曾知晓的事情，我已经知道了。我从示巴带来了确切的消息。我发现有一个女人统治着他们，她被赐予了地上任何君王所拥有的一切，并且拥有一座巨大的宝座。我发现她和她的臣民崇拜太阳，而不崇拜安拉，撒旦把他们的行为修饰得很美好，并阻止他们走上安拉的正道，所以他们得不到引导。" "Al-La"（此词有两种解释）：[因为撒旦阻止了他们走上安拉的正道]，使他们不去向安拉叩拜；或者使他们去向（太阳）叩拜。

which you have not grasped and I have come to you from Sheba with true news. I found a woman ruling over them, and she has been given all things that could be possessed by any ruler of the earth, and she has a great throne. I found her and her people worshipping the sun instead of Allah, and Satan has made their deeds fair seeming to them, and has barred them from Allah's Way, so they have no guidance." Al-La (this word has two interpretations) [As Satan has barred them from Allah's Way} so that they do not worship (prostrate before) Allah, or so that they may worship (prostrate before)

安拉，祂使天地间的隐秘显现光明，祂知道你们所隐藏的和所公开的。安拉，除祂之外，没有应受崇拜的主（La ilaha illa Huwa），祂是至高宝座的主！ （所罗门）说："我们将看看你是说实话，还是你是说谎的人。你带着我这封信去，把它交给他们，然后退开，看看他们会作何回应。" 她说："众长老啊！确实，有一封尊贵的信函被投到我面前。确实，它来自所罗门，确实，它写道：'奉至仁至慈的安拉之名；你们不要对我傲慢，而要顺服地来到我这里（即真正的归顺者，以完全的顺服归向安拉）。'" 她说："众长老啊！请你们就我这件事给我提出意见。在你们没有到我面前之前，我不会决断任何事务。"他们说："我们有强大的力量，也有很强的作战能力，但决定权在你，所以请你考虑好要下什么命令。" 她说："确实，君王们一旦进入某个城镇（国家），就会毁坏它，并使其中最尊贵的人沦为卑贱。他们也正是这样做的。但我要送给他一份礼物，看看使者们带回怎样的答复。" 当（带着礼物的使者）来到所罗门那里时，他说："你们要用财富来帮助我吗？安拉赐给我的，比赐给你们的更好！不，你们是因你们的礼物而欢喜！"（然后所罗门对带来礼物的使者之首说）："你们回去吧。我们必定带着他们无法抵抗的军队去到他们那里，我们要将他们从那里逐出，使他们蒙受屈辱，并被贬低。" 他说："众长老啊！在他们顺服地来到我面前之前，你们中谁能把她的宝座带来给我？"精灵中的一个强大者（阿夫里特）说："在你从座位上起身（议事）之前，我就能把它带给你。确实，我的确强大，并且对这类工作是可信赖的。" 有知识的经典学者说:"我能在你眨眼之间把它带来!"当所罗门看见它放在自己面前时,便说:"这是出于我主的恩典,要考验我是感恩还是忘恩。凡感恩的,他的感恩只为他自己的益处;凡忘恩的,他的忘恩只为他自己的损失。我的主确实是至富的,是最慷慨的!"他说:"你们为她改变她的宝座,看看她能否认出它,或者她是否属于不被引导的人。"当她到来时,有人对她说:"你的宝座就是这样的吗?"她说:"好像就是它一样。"所罗门说:"在她之前,我们已被赐予知识,并且我们已归顺安拉(在她之前我们已作为穆斯林顺从安拉)。"她过去舍安拉而崇拜的,阻止了她信仰伊斯兰,因为她原本属于不信道的民族。

Allah, Who brings light to what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what you conceal and what you reveal. Allah, La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Lord of the Supreme Throne! (Solomon) said: "We shall see whether you speak the truth or you are one of the liars. Go with this letter of mine, and deliver it to them, then draw back from them, and see what answer they return." She said: "O chiefs! Verily! Here is a delivered to me a noble letter. Verily! It is from Solomon and verily! It (reads): 'In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful; Be you not exalted against me, but come to me as Muslims (true believers who submit to Allah with full submission)." She said: "O chiefs! Advise me in this case of mine. I decide no case till you are present with me." They said: "We have great strength, and great ability for war, but it is for you to command; so think over what you will command." She said: "Verily! Kings, when they enter a town (country), they despoil it, and make the most honorable amongst its people low. And thus they do. But verily! I am going to send him a present, and see with what answer the messengers return." So when (the messengers with the present) came to Solomon, he said: "Will you help me in wealth? What Allah has given me is better than that which He has given you! Nay, you rejoice in your gift!" (Then Solomon said to the chief of her messengers who brought the present): "Go back to them. We verily shall come to them with hosts that they cannot resist, and we shall drive them out from there is disgrace, and they will be abased." He said: "O chiefs! Which of you can bring me her throne before they come to me surrendering themselves in obedience?" An Ifrit (strong) from the jinns said: "I will bring it to you before you rise from your place (council). And verily, I am indeed strong, and trustworthy for such work." One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture said: "I will bring it to you within the twinkling of an eye!" then when 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!" He said: "Disguise her throne for her that we may see whether she will be guided (to recognize her throne), or she will be one of those not guided." So when she came, it was said to her: "Is your throne like this?" She said: "It is as though it was the very same." And Solomon said: "Knowledge was bestowed on us before her, and we were submitted to Allah (in Islam as Muslims before her)." And that which she used to worship besides Allah has prevented her from Islam, for she was of a disbelieving people.

所罗门的大部分公共工程是由精灵完成的。这是对他们的一种惩罚，因为他们曾让人们相信他们无所不能、知晓幽玄并能预知未来，犯下了这些罪过。作为一位先知，所罗门有责任消除其追随者心中的这类错误信念。

Solomon's public work was largely carried out by the jinns. This was a punishment for their sins of making people believe that they were all-powerful, knew the unseen, and could foresee the future. As a prophet, it was Solomon's duty to remove such false beliefs from his followers.

所罗门生活在荣耀之中，一切受造物都臣服于他。随后，至高的安拉命定他死去。他的生与死充满了奇迹与神迹，因此他的死与他的生和荣耀相互契合。他的死与他的生一样，独一无二。人们必须明白：未来既不为精灵所知，也不为先知所知，唯有安拉独知。所罗门在这方面的努力并未随他的一生而终结，因为他的死也成为了一种典范。他手持权杖坐着，监督精灵在矿场中劳作。他就这样保持着坐姿死去。很长一段时间里，没有人察觉到他已经死亡，因为人们看见他仍然笔直地坐着。精灵们继续从事着劳役，以为所罗门仍在注视着他们。

Solomon lived amidst glory, and all creatures were subjected to him. Then Allah the Exalted ordained for him to die. His life and death were full of wonders and miracles; thus, his death harmonized with his life and glory. His death, like his life, was unique. The people had to learn that the future is known neither by the jinns, nor by the prophets, but by Allah alone. Solomon's effort in this direction did not end with his life, for even his death became an example. He was sitting holding his staff, overseeing the jinns at work in a mine. He died sitting in this position. For a long time no one was aware of his death, for he was seen sitting erect. The jinns continued with their sand toil, thinking that Solomon was watching over them.

过了许多天，一只饥饿的蚂蚁开始啃咬所罗门的手杖。它不停地啃，把手杖的下半部分吃掉，直到手杖从所罗门手中脱落，他高大的身躯倒在了地上。

Many days later, a hungry ant began nibbling Solomon's staff. It continued to do so, eating the lower part of the staff, until it fell out of Solomon's hand, and his great body fell to the ground.

人们匆忙赶到他那里,这才意识到他已经去世很久了,而精灵们并不能感知幽玄之事。因为如果精灵们能知晓幽玄,他们就不会仍然继续劳作,以为所罗门还活着了。

People hurried to him, realizing that he had died a long time ago and that the jinns did not perceive the unseen, for had the jinns known the unseen, they would not have kept working, thinking that Solomon was alive.

安拉至高无上启示道：

Allah the Exalted revealed:

我使一股熔铜的泉源为他涌流，有些精灵在他的主的允许下在他面前工作。他们中谁违背我的命令，我就让他尝尝烈火的刑罚。

"And We caused a fount of molten brass to flow for him, and there were jinns that worked in front of him by the Leave of his Lord, and whosoever of them turned aside from Our Command, We shall cause him to taste of the torment of the blazing Fire.

他们为他做了他所想要的，建造高大的殿堂、雕像、如水池般大的盆，以及固定在原处的大锅。"大卫的家人啊，你们要感恩地工作！"但我的仆人中很少有感恩的人。

They worked for him what he desired, (making) high rooms, images, basins as large as reservoirs, and (making) cauldrons fixed (in their places). "Work you, O family of David, with thanks!" But few of My slaves are grateful.

然后，当我判定他死亡时，除了地里的一条小虫蛀蚀他的手杖，没有任何东西向众精灵（jinn）显示他的死讯。当他倒下时，精灵们才清楚地看到：如果他们知道幽玄之事，就不会继续留在那屈辱的苦役之中。 {然后，当我判定他死亡时，除了地里的一条小虫蛀蚀他的手杖，没有任何东西向众精灵显示他的死讯。当他倒下时，精灵们才清楚地看到：如果他们知道幽玄之事，就不会继续留在那屈辱的苦刑之中。}（古兰经 34:12-14）

Then when we decreed death for him (Solomon), nothing informed them (jinns) of his death except a little worm of the earth, which kept slowly gnawing away at his stick, so when he fell down, the jinns saw clearly that if they had known the unseen, they would not have stayed in the humiliating torment. (Ch 34:12-14 Quran).
