安拉至高无上地说：

Allah the Almighty says:

{他检视群鸟，说："我怎么看不见戴胜鸟呢？它是不在场吗？"我必用严厉的刑罚惩罚它，或将它宰了，除非它给我拿来明确的理由。"}但那戴胜鸟不久便来了，它说：

{He inspected the birds, and said: "What is the matter that I see not the 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:

"我已掌握了你所未掌握的知识,我带着关于示巴(Saba')的确切消息来到你这里。" "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能拥有的一切,她还有一座大宝座。我发现她和她的子民都在向太阳叩拜,而不拜真主,是恶魔(撒旦)为他们修饰了他们的行为,并阻止他们遵循真主的正道,所以他们得不到引导。"[因为恶魔(撒旦)阻止了他们遵循真主的正道],所以他们不向真主叩拜。真主是使天地间隐秘之物显露出来的,也知道你们所隐藏的和所公开的。真主,除他之外绝无应受崇拜的主宰,他是至尊宝座的主! [苏莱曼(所罗门)]说:"我们将看看你是说实话,还是你属于说谎的人。 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:"诸位显贵啊!这里有一封尊贵的信函已送到我这里。"

"I have grasped (the knowledge of a thing) which you have not grasped and I have come to you from Saba' (Sheba) with true news." "I found a woman ruling over them: 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 Shaitan (Satan) has made their deeds fair-seeming to them, and has barred them from (Allah's) Way: so they have no guidance." [As Shaitan (Satan) has barred them from Allah's Way] so they do not worship (prostrate themselves before) Allah, Who brings to light 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! [Sulaiman (Solomon)] said: "We shall see whether you speak the truth or you are (one) of the liars."Go you 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 delivered to me a noble letter.

"的确，它来自所罗门，内容是：奉仁慈的至仁主之名：'你们不要向我傲慢，而要顺从地来见我。'她说：'众臣啊！请你们为我的这件事出谋划策。在你们没有到我面前之前，我不会决定任何事情。'他们说：'我们有强大的力量，也有勇猛的作战能力，但决定权在于您，您考虑一下该怎么命令吧。'她说：'君王们一旦进入一个城市，就会毁坏它，并使其中最尊贵的人沦为最卑贱的人。他们就是这样做的。'然而，我要送给他一份礼物，看看使者带回来的是怎样的回应。'当使者带着礼物来到所罗门面前时，他说：'你们要用财富来帮助我吗？真主赐予我的，比赐予你们的更好！不，是你们因自己的礼物而欢喜！'（于是所罗门对带礼物来的使者长说）：'你们回去吧。我们必定带着他们无法抵挡的军队去找他们，我们要把他们从那里赶出去，使他们蒙受羞辱。'他说：'众臣啊！你们当中谁能在她的人顺从地来见我之前，把她的王位给我带来？'精灵中的一个强悍者说：'在你从座位起身之前，我就能把它带来给你。我确实有力量，对此事也是可信赖的。'一个掌握经典知识的人说：'在你眨眼之间，我就能把它带来给你！'当他看到王位安放在自己面前时，他说：'这是我的主的恩惠，为要考验我是感恩还是忘恩。谁感恩，他的感恩只是为了他自己的益处；谁忘恩，那么我的主确实是富足的、尊贵的。'" 他说:"你们为她改变她的宝座,让我们看看她是否会被引导(去认出她的宝座),还是她会成为未被引导的人之一。"于是她来到时,有人对她说:"你的宝座是像这样的吗?"她说:"(它)仿佛就是同一个。"[苏莱曼(所罗门)]说:

"Verily it is from Sulaiman (Solomon), and verily, it (reads): In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, 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 (and give me your opinions)." 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 the lowest. 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 Sulaiman (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 Sulaiman (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 in 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?" A`Ifrit (strong one) from the jinn 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 he [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 own self, and whoever is ungrateful, (he is ungrateful only for the loss of his own self. Certainly my Lord is Rich (Free of all needs), 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 were the very same." And [Sulaiman (Solomon)] said:

"在她之前，我们已经被赐予了知识，并且我们已顺从安拉（在她之前，我们已作为穆斯林归顺伊斯兰）。"她所崇拜的、在安拉之外的事物阻止了她（不信伊斯兰），因为她原本属于不信道的民族。有人对她说："进入这座宫殿吧"（Sarh，即一个底下有水的玻璃面，或一座宫殿）。但当她看见它时，以为那是一汪水池，便撩起衣裙，露出了双腿。（苏莱曼〔所罗门〕）说："这确实是一座由玻璃砌成的宫殿。"她说："我的主啊！我确实亏待了自己，我与苏莱曼一同顺从安拉，即全世界的主。"{（《蚂蚁章》，20-44）}

"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 ofa disbelieving people. It was said to her: "Enter As-Sarh" (a glass surface with water underneath it or a palace): but when she saw it, she thought it was a pool, and she (tucked up her clothes) uncovering her legs. (Sulaiman (Solomon)) said: "Verily, it is a Sarh (a glass surface with water underneath it or a palace)." She said: "My Lord! Verily, I have wronged myself, and I submit [in Islam, together with Sulaiman (Solomon)] to Allah, the Lord of the `Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)}. (An-Naml. 20-44)

真主至大叙述了所罗门与戴胜鸟之间发生的事。各种鸟类都有领袖或被选出的首领，他们被委以特定的任务，并且定期亲自到所罗门面前报到，这如同军队与其君王之间的惯例。伊本·阿拔斯（愿真主喜悦他）及其他学者提到，戴胜鸟的任务是在沙漠和贫瘠之地寻找水源。诚然，戴胜鸟具有真主至大所赐予的能力，能够看见并辨识地下水源的位置。

Allah the Almighty narrates what had happened between Sulaiman and the hoopoe. All kinds of birds had pioneers or chosen ones who were charged with certain tasks and who periodically attend themselves before Sulaiman, as a habit of the troops with their kings. Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) and others mentioned that the mission of the hoopoe was to search for water in deserts and barren areas. Indeed, the hoopoe has the ability -as granted by Allah the Almighty -to see and identify the locations of underground waters.

苏莱曼的戴胜鸟过去会寻找地下的水源，然后带领他的军队前往那里；他们挖掘土地取水，并用它来满足自身的需要。

Sulaiman's hoopoe used to search for underground water and then to lead his troops thereto; they dig the land to get the water out and use it in fulfilling their needs.

有一天,素莱曼(愿主赐他平安)想找戴胜鸟,却没有见到它,也没有在它应在的位置上找到它,于是他说:{我为什么看不见戴胜鸟?还是它竟不在座?}即它不在这里,或者我看不见它。{我必严厉地惩罚它}素莱曼(愿主赐他平安)威胁说要以某种刑罚惩罚它;{或者宰了它,除非它给我提出明确的理由}即能使它免于我惩罚的明确借口。至高的真主说:{戴胜鸟没有隐藏多久}即它离开的时间并不长,{它便来了,说}对素莱曼(愿主赐他平安){我已知道了你所不知道的事,我已从赛八(示巴)带来了确凿的消息}。即{我发现一个女人统治着他们,她被赐予了地上任何君主所能拥有的一切,并且有一座巨大的宝座},它是在描述也门赛八国王和统治者的地位:他们拥有强大而荣耀的王国,以及坚强而能干的军队。在那个时期,他们的国王去世了,没有留下继承人,只留下一个女儿,他们便拥立她为女王。

One day, Sulaiman (Peace be upon him) wanted the hoopoe, he missed him and did not find him in his appointed position so, he said: {What is the matter that I see not the hoopoe? Or is he among the absentees?} i.e. he is not here, or I can not see him. {I will surely punish him with a severe torment} Sulaiman (Peace be upon him) threatened that he would punish him with some kind of penalty; {or slaughter him, unless he brings me a clear reason} i.e. a clear excuse that may save him from my punishment. Allah the Almighty says: {But the hoopoe stayed not long} i.e. his absence was not so long, then {he (came up and) said} to Sulaiman (Peace be upon him) {I have grasped (the knowledge of a thing) which you have not grasped} i.e. I got to know that which you did not; {and I have come to you from Saba' (Sheba) with true news}. That {I found a woman ruling over them: she has been given all things that could be possessed by any ruler on earth, and she has a great throne}, he is describing the status of the kings and rulers of Sheba in the Yemen: they had a mighty and glorious kingdom along with strong and competent troops. During that period, their king died and left no heirs but a daughter whom they raised as their queen.

据阿勒-塞阿莱卜（Ath-Tha`labi）等人记载，她父亲去世后，人们推举了一个人为统治者，在他的统治下，腐败与祸乱盛行。她向他求婚，他便娶了她。新婚之夜，她给他灌酒，直到他醉倒，然后她砍下他的头，把他的头挂在自己的门上。此后，人们拥立她为女王，登上王位。

Ath-Tha`labi and others mentioned that after her father's death, the people appointed a man under whose rule corruption and mischief prevailed. She proposed to him in marriage and he married her. At their first night together she gave him wine till he got drunk and then she beheaded him and hanged his head on her door. Thereupon, the people raised her over the throne as their queen.

她是Bilqis Bint As-Sairah。她的父亲名叫Al-Hudhad，又称Shurahil Ibn Dhi Jadan Ibn As-Sairah Ibn Al-Harith Ibn Qais Ibn Saifi Ibn Saba' Ibn Yashjub Ibn Ya `rub Ibn Qahtan。她的父亲是最高贵的国王之一。他拒绝娶也门的女子为妻。据说他娶了一位名叫Raihanah Bint As-Sakan的精灵女子，她生下了这位名叫Balqamah的女子，后来她被称为Bilqis。

She was Bilqis Bint As-Sairah. Her father was called Al-Hudhad, or Shurahil Ibn Dhi Jadan Ibn As-Sairah Ibn Al-Harith Ibn Qais Ibn Saifi Ibn Saba' Ibn Yashjub Ibn Ya `rub Ibn Qahtan. Her father was one of the noblest kings. He refused to get married to Yemeni women. It is said that he got married to a woman from the Jinn whose name was Raihanah Bint As-Sakan who gave birth to that woman whose name is Balqamah, to be known later as Bilqis.

阿-萨尔拉比（Ath-Tha`labi）引述自赛义德·伊本·巴希尔（Sa`id Ibn Bashir），他又引述自戈塔达（Qatadah），戈塔达引述自阿尔-纳达尔·伊本·阿纳斯（An-Nadr Ibn Anas），阿尔-纳达尔引述自巴希尔·伊本·纳希克（Bashir Ibn Nahik），巴希尔引述自艾布·胡莱赖（Abu Hurairah）：安拉的使者ﷺ说："比尔基斯的父母之一来自精灵（jinn）。"（这是一段奇特的圣训，其传述链中存在某种薄弱之处。）

Ath-Tha`labi transmitted on the authority of Sa`id Ibn Bashir on the authority of Qatadah after An-Nadr Ibn Anas after Bashir Ibn Nahik, after Abu Hurairah that Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) said: "One of Bilqis 's parents was from among the jinn." (This is a strange Hadith in whose Chain of Transmission there is some kind of Weakness).

Ath-Tha`labi说：Abu `Abdullah Ibn Qabhunah向我转述，他引用Abu Bakr Ibn Jarjah，经Abu Bakrah所述：有一次，在Allah的Messenger ﷺ面前提到了Bilqis，他说："凡是由女人统治的民族，永远不会成功。"（这位次级传述人Isma`il Ibn Muslim是麦加人，圣训学者视其为Weak，即……）

Ath- Tha`labi said: I was told by Abu `Abdullah Ibn Qabhunah on the authority of Abu Bakr Ibn Jarjah after Abu Bakrah as saying: Once, Bilqis was mentioned before Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) who said: "Such people as ruled by a lady will never be successful." (That sub-Narrator, Isma`il Ibn Muslim is Meccan and he is regarded by the Scholars of Hadith as Weak, i.e.

（不是可靠的传述者）。

not an authentic narrator).

据《古兰经》未载但见于《圣训》的记载，《沙希布·布哈里圣训集》中记载，经由阿夫夫（`Auf）转述哈桑的传述，经由艾卜·伯克来（Abu Bakra）：当安拉的使者ﷺ得知波斯人已拥立库斯老之女为王时，他说："把国事托付给女人的民族，绝不会成功。"（《沙希布·布哈里圣训集》）

It is mentioned in Sahih Al-Bukhari from the narration of `Auf on the authority of Al-Hasan, after Abu Bakra that: When Allah's Messenger (Peace be upon him) was informed that the Persians had crowned the daughter of Khusrau as their ruler, he said, "Such people as ruled by a lady will never be successful." (Sahih Al-Bukhari)

以及他的话：{她被赐予了一切}，即地上任何君王所能拥有的一切，{她还有一个巨大的宝座}，即她所坐的椅子装饰着各种宝石、珍珠、黄金和其他华美之物，并镶嵌其间。接着，他提到了她们不信真主至高无上、舍真主而拜太阳，以及撒旦如何迷惑她们，将她们的行为装点得在她们眼中美好，并阻止她们走上真主的正道，{于是她们不向真主下拜（叩拜）}

And, his saying: {She has been given all things} that could be possessed by any ruler of the earth, {and she has a great throne} i.e. the chair she sits on was ornamented and studded with various jewels, pearls, gold and other magnificent things. Then, he mentioned their disbelief in Allah the Almighty and their worship of the sun instead of Allah and the deceivement of Satan to them by making their deeds look fair-seeming in their eyes, and barring them from Allah's Way, {So they do not worship (prostrate themselves before)

安拉，祂使天地间隐秘之物显露，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，祂是至大王座的主！}即，祂拥有至伟的宝座，祂的被造物中没有任何一个拥有这样的宝座。

Allah, Who brings to light what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what you conceal and what you reveal} i.e. He knows all secrets and revealed matters whether material or immaterial. {Allah, La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Lord of the Supreme Throne!} i.e. the Greatest Throne which none from among His creatures ever has.

于是,所罗门派戴胜鸟带着一封信去,号召他们归顺真主和祂的使者,悔罪,并服从他的王权与权势。他对她们说:{你们不要向我傲慢,而要以穆斯林的身份来见我}。即,不要让你们的骄傲阻止你们服从我;"穆斯林"即真正的信士,以完全的顺服归顺真主。戴胜鸟把信放在她的身边,然后等着看她会怎么做。 然而,她召集了贵族、王子和大臣,进行相互协商。{她说:"众位首领啊!确实,有一封尊贵的信被送到了我这里}。她先读了信的标题{它确实来自所罗门},然后读了其余的内容{它的内容是:奉至仁至慈的真主之名。你们不要向我傲慢,而要以穆斯林的身份(即以完全顺服真主的真信士的身份)来见我}。接着,她以非常恭敬的方式向他们征求意见{她说:"众位首领啊!请就我的这件事给我建议。在你们没有到我面前之前,我不会对任何事情做决定"}。即,请你们给我提出意见。 {他们说:"我们拥有强大的力量和卓越的作战能力"},即,我们有足够的实力应对战争,具备战争所需的力量、物资等。所以如果你想选择这条路,我们已经做好了充分的准备。{但最终的决定在于你,你且考虑清楚要下什么命令}。于是他们表现出完全的服从,在向她展示和陈述了自己的能力之后,便把这件事交给她来决定,看看应当怎么办。 的确,她的见解比他们的更加明智、更加正确,因为她知道送信的人是不可抗拒、不可欺骗、甚至不可蒙蔽的。{她说:"君王们一旦进入一座城镇(国家),必定会毁坏它,并使其中最尊贵的人沦为最卑贱的人。他们一向如此"}。即,她向他们解释:如果那位君王征服了他们的这个王国,那么首当其冲受到最严厉惩罚和屈辱的,就是她自己。{但确实……} 我要送他一份礼物，看看使者会带回怎样的答复。她想用礼物和馈赠来贿赂所罗门，但她知道所罗门（愿主福安之）不会接受他们的任何东西，只接受伊斯兰教，因为她和她的族人都是不信道的，而他和他的军队远比他们所有人强大。因此，{当（使者带着礼物）来到所罗门（Solomon）那里时，他说：你们要用财产来帮助我吗？安拉所赐予我的，比你们所赐予的更好！不然，是你们因自己的礼物而欢喜！}然后，所罗门（Solomon）对带来礼物的使者之长说：{你们回去吧！我们必定带着他们无法抵抗的军队去攻打他们，我们必定把他们从那里赶出去，使他们蒙受耻辱，并且他们将被降为卑贱者}，即：你们带着你们的礼物回去吧，因为安拉所赐予我的远比这些财产、财富和礼物更好，而你们却为此欢喜，并在自己的族人面前骄傲自大。{我们必定带着他们无法抵抗的军队去攻打他们}，即：无法抗拒、无法战胜或无法对抗的军队；而且，我们还要把他们从他们的土地、财产和财富中赶出去，{使他们蒙受耻辱，并且他们将被降为卑贱者}，即：遭受羞辱、卑微和毁灭。

Thereupon, Sulaiman sent the hoopoe with a letter calling them to obey Allah and His Messenger, to repent and submit themselves to his kingship and power. He sent them: {Be you not exalted against me} i. e. do not let your pride prevent you from obeying me, {but come to me as Muslims} i.e. true believers who submit to Allah with full submission. The hoopoe dropped the letter near her and waited to see what she was going to do. However, she gathered the nobles, princes and ministers to have mutual consultation, {She said: "O chiefs! Verily! Here is delivered to me a noble letter}, then she first read its title {Verily it is from Sulaiman (Solomon)}, then she read the rest thereof {and verily, it (reads): In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful: Be you not exalted against me, but come to me as Muslims (true believers who submit to Allah with full submission)}. Then she sought their advice in a very polite manner {She said: 0 chiefs! Advise me in (this) case of mine. I decide no case till you are present with me} i.e. that you give me your opinions, {They said: We have great strength, and great ability for war}, i.e. we can afford war and all it needs of strength, materials, etc. so if you want this choice, we are well prepared thereto {but it is for you to command: so think over what you will command}, hence, they showed full obedience to her and after showing and displaying their abilities before her they left the matter in her hands to see what should be done. Verily, her opinion was wiser and better than theirs as she knew that the sender of the letter was not to be resisted, fooled, or even deceived. {She said: Verily kings, when they enter a town (country), they despoil it and make the most honorable amongst its people the lowest. And thus they do}, i.e. she explains to them that if that king overpowers this kingdom of theirs, she would be the one who receives the severest of punishment and degradation. {But verily! I am going to send him a present, and see with what (answer) the Messengers return} she wanted to bribe Sulaiman with presents and gifts knowing that Sulaiman (Peace be upon him) would not accept from them but Islam, as she and her people were disbelievers while he and his troops are far stronger than them all. For this {When (the messengers with the present) came to Sulaiman (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 Sulaiman (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 in disgrace, and they will be abased} i.e. go back with your gifts for what I have been granted by Allah is far better than these properties, riches and presents with which you rejoice and be filled with arrogance and pride over your own people. {We verily shall come to them with hosts that they cannot resist} i.e. troops that are irresistible and cannot be defeated or encountered, and moreover we shall drive them out from their land, properties and wealth {in disgrace, and they will be abased} i.e. dragging shame, abasement and destruction.

当他们听到这个消息时,急忙前来,宣告他们完全顺服、绝对遵从,并愿意陪同他们的女王前去拜见苏莱曼(愿主赐他平安)。当他(愿主赐他平安)得知他们即将到来,并且打算在他面前归顺时,他对在座的那些随从中的精灵说,是否有人能在女王到达之前把她的王座带来给他。{精灵中的一个强大者说:我会在你从座位上起身之前把它带来给你。的确,我是有力量的,也是可以信赖的,能胜任这件事。}即在你们结束议政之前。据说他从清晨到正午都在处理以色列后裔的事务。{的确,我是有力量的,也是可以信赖的,能胜任这件事。}即我有力量把王座带到你面前,同时我也可以被托付保管其中的宝石和珍珠。而{拥有经典知识的人说}即苏莱曼的表兄阿绥夫·本·巴尔基亚说,他是精灵中的一位信士,知道安拉至高无上的至大之名。也有人说,他是以色列后裔的学者之一。另外,还有人说是苏莱曼本人,但这是非常奇怪、不寻常的说法,苏海利称其脱离上下文。第四种说法认为,他是天使吉卜利勒(愿主赐他平安)。

When they heard the news, they rushed declaring their full submission and perfect obedience and willingness to accompany their queen in her leaving for meeting Sulaiman (Peace be upon him). When he (Peace be upon him) heard of their coming and their intention to present themselves before his hand, he said to those (Jinn) from among his present hosts if they would bring him her throne before she manage to come: {A`Ifrit (strong one) from the jinn 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) i.e. before you finish your ruling council. It was said that he used to run the affairs of the Banu Israel from the beginning of the day till the noon. {Verily, I am indeed strong, and trustworthy for such work} i.e. I am strong enough to bring the throne to you, and at the same time I am to be entrusted with what it contains of the precious jewels and pearls. But {One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture said} i.e. Asif Ibn Barkhiya who was Sulaiman's maternal cousin, said it was one of the believers from among the Jinn who knew the Greatest Name of Allah the Almighty. It is also said that he was one from among the scholars of the Banu Israel. Moreover, it was said to be Sulaiman himself, which is very strange and odd opinion and which As-Suhaili described to be out of context. A fourth opinion held that it was Gabriel (Peace be upon him).

{我将在眨眼之间把它带给你！}即在你派遣使者到地球最远的地方、他再返回你这里之前。也有人说：在你所能看见的最远之人到达你面前之前；或在你的视线因凝望某一点而疲倦、眼睛闭上之前；或在你望向视线所能及的最远之地、然后闭上眼睛、再睁开眼睛之前（这是最可能的解释）。{当他[苏莱曼（所罗门）]看见它被摆放在自己面前时}即当他看见示巴女王的宝座在这极短的时间内，从也门被带来并摆放在他面前，从也门到耶路撒冷，{他说：“这是我的主的恩典，为要考验我是感恩还是忘恩！”}即这是安拉所赐予我的恩典，安拉的恩典赐予所有人，以考验他们是感恩还是忘恩。{谁感恩，他的感恩实际是为了他自己}即其益处归于他自己，{谁忘恩，（他的忘恩只是对他自己的损失）。我的主确实是至富的、至慷慨的}即祂既不需要感恩者的感谢，也不会因不信者的不信而受到损害。

{I will bring it to you within the twinkling of an eye!} i.e. before you send a messenger to the farthest place on earth and he comes back to you. It was also said: before the farthest person you can see reaches you; or before your sight gets weary of starring at some point and your eye closes; or before you regain your sight if you look to the farthest place your sight can reach then you close your eye, (which is the most likely interpretation). {Then when he [Sulaiman (Solomon)) saw it placed before him} i.e. when he saw the throne of Bilqis brought and placed before him, in this too short period, from the Yemen to Jerusalem, {he said: "This is by the Grace of my Lord -to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful!} i.e. this is by the Grace of Allah lam granted and His Grace all people are granted testing them whether they are grateful or ungrateful. {And whoever is grateful, truly, his gratitude is for (the good of) his own self} i.e. the benefit of this returns onto himself, {and whoever is ungrateful, (he is ungrateful only for the loss of his own self. Certainly my Lord is Rich (Free of all needs), Bountiful} i.e. He is neither in need of thanking of the thankful, nor is He harmed by disbelief of the disbelievers.

然后,素莱曼(愿主赐他平安)下令改变并伪装她的宝座,以考验她的心智与理解力,他说:{以便我们看她是否会得到引导(认出她的宝座),还是她会是那些未受引导的人之一。当她来到时,有人对她说:你的宝座是这样的吗?她说:(好像)就是它一样}。她之所以这样回答,是出于她的理解力和清晰的洞察力:她排除了那是她自己宝座的可能,因为她刚刚把它留在远方的也门,而且她不知道有谁能完成这种将宝座移至耶路撒冷的奇妙之举。

Then, Sulaiman (Peace be upon him) ordered her throne to be altered and disguised to test her mentality and understanding, saying {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 were the very same}, this is due to her understanding and clear insight that she set aside the possibility that it was her own throne for she has just left it far away in the Yemen, and that she did not know that there is any who can do this marvelous act of removing it to Jerusalem.

安拉至大说到关于苏莱曼及其族人时说：{（苏莱曼〔所罗门〕）说：我们在她之前已获赐知识，并且我们已是顺从的人（在她之前，我们已是穆斯林）。而她舍弃安拉之外所崇拜的，阻止了她（信仰伊斯兰），因为她原是不信道民族中的一员。}即

Allah the Almighty says pertaining to Sulaiman (Peace be upon him) and his people {And (Sulaiman (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} i.e.

崇拜太阳——她和她的族人过去曾向太阳叩拜，舍弃安拉至高无上的真主，而遵循其父辈和祖先的宗教，对此并无任何依据或证据。苏莱曼（愿主赐他平安）

worshipping the sun to whom she used to prostrate herself and her people instead of Allah the Almighty in follow of the religion of her fathers and ancestors with no evidence or proof of this. Sulaiman (Peace be upon him)

此前，他下令建造一座萨尔赫（一个玻璃表面，下面是水，水中有各种鱼类和其他海洋生物）。之后，当所罗门坐在他的王座上时，比勒基斯奉命走进萨尔赫。{她看到它时，以为那是一汪水池，便撩起裙子，露出了双腿。}（所罗门）

previously ordered a Sarh (a glass surface with water underneath in which there are various sorts of fish and other seacreatures) to be built. Afterwards, Bilqis was ordered to enter the Sarh while Sulaiman (Peace be upon him) was sitting on his throne, {But when she saw it, she thought it was a pool, and she (tucked up her clothes) uncovering her legs. (Sulaiman (Solomon))

他说："这确实是一座Sarh（一个下面有水的玻璃表面，或者一座宫殿）。"她说："我的主啊！我确实亏待了自己，我与苏莱曼（所罗门）一同顺服于安拉，归顺全世界的主。"{她说：“我的主啊！我确实亏待了自己，我与苏莱曼一同归顺全世界的主安拉。”}

said: "Verily, it is a Sarh (a glass surface with water underneath it or a palace)." She said: "My Lord! Verily, I have wronged myself, and I submit [in Islam, together with Sulaiman (Solomon)). to Allah, the Lord of the" Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)}.
