அவ்வாறே (தூதர்கள்) ஸுலைமானிடம் வந்தபோது அவர் சொன்னார்; "நீங்கள் எனக்குப் பொருளைக் கொண்டு உதவி செய்(ய நினைக்)கிறீர்களா? அல்லாஹ் எனக்குக் கொடுத்திருப்பது, உங்களுக்கு அவன் கொடுத்திருப்பதை விட மேலானதாகும்; எனினும், உங்கள் அன்பளிப்பைக் கொண்டு நீங்கள் தான் மகிழ்ச்சி அடைகிறீர்கள்!

Tafsir of 27:36

The Gift and the Response of Sulayman More than one of the scholars of Tafsir among the Salaf and others stated that she sent him a huge gift of gold, jewels, pearls and other things. It is apparent that Sulayman, peace be upon him, did not even look at what they brought at all and did not pay any attention to it, but he turned away and said, rebuking them: أَتُمِدُّونَنِ بِمَالٍ ("Will you help me in wealth") meaning, `are you trying to flatter me with wealth so that I will leave you alone with your Shirk and your kingdom' فَمَآ ءَاتَنِى اللَّهُ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّآ ءَاتَكُمْ (What Allah has given me is better than that which He has given you!) means, `what Allah has given to me of power, wealth and troops, is better than that which you have.' بَلْ أَنتُمْ بِهَدِيَّتِكُمْ تَفْرَحُونَ (Nay, you rejoice in your gift!) means, `you are the ones who are influenced by gifts and presents; we will accept nothing from you except Islam or the sword.' ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِمْ (Go back to them) means, with their gift, فَلَنَأْتِيَنَّهُم بِجُنُودٍ لاَّ قِبَلَ لَهُمْ بِهَا (We verily, shall come to them with armies that they cannot resist,) they have no power to match them or resist them.…
