فَلَمَّا قَضَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ ٱلْمَوْتَ مَا دَلَّهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَوْتِهِۦٓ إِلَّا دَآبَّةُ ٱلْأَرْضِ تَأْكُلُ مِنسَأَتَهُۥ ۖ فَلَمَّا خَرَّ تَبَيَّنَتِ ٱلْجِنُّ أَن لَّوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ ٱلْغَيْبَ مَا لَبِثُوا۟ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ

EnglishSaheeh International
And when We decreed for him [i.e., Solomon] death, nothing indicated to them [i.e., the jinn] his death except a creature of the earth eating his staff. But when he fell, it became clear to the jinn that if they had known the unseen, they would not have remained in humiliating punishment.

அவர் (ஸுலைமான்) மீது நாம் மரணத்தை விதித்த போது அவர் இறந்து விட்டார் என்பதை, அவர் (சாய்ந்திருந்த) தடியை அரித்து விட்ட நிலத்தின் பூச்சி (கரையானைத்) தவிர வேறெதுவும் அந்த ஜின்களுக்கு அறிவிக்கவில்லை அவர் கீழே விழவே "தாங்கள் மறைவான விஷயங்களை அறிந்திருக்கக் கூடுமானால் (கடின உழைப்பாகிய) இழிவுதரும் வேதனையில் தாங்கள் தரி பட்டிந்திருக்க வேண்டியதில்லை" என்று ஜின்களுக்கு தெளிவாக தெரிந்தது.

අපි ඔහු කෙරෙහි මරණය තීන්දු කළ කල්හි ඔහුගේ මරණය පිළිබඳව ඔහුගේ සැරයටිය සපාකන භූමියේ කෘමීන් හැර අන් කිසිවක් ඔවුන් වෙත දැනුම් දුන්නේ නැත. ඔහු බිම ඇද වැටුණු කල්හි “අදෘශ්‍යමාන දෑ පිළිබඳ තමන් දැන සිටියේ නම් තමන් නින්දාසහගත දඬුවමෙහි රැඳී සිටින්නට නො තිබුණි” යැයි ජින්වරුන්ට පැහැදිලි විය.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
پھر جب ہم نے ان پر موت کا حکم بھیج دیا تو ان کی خبر جنات کو کسی نے نہ دی سوائے گھن کے کیڑے کے جو ان کی عصا کو کھا رہا تھا۔ پس جب (سلیمان) گر پڑے اس وقت جنوں نے جان لیا کہ اگر وه غیب دان ہوتے تو اس کے ذلت کے عذاب میں مبتلا نہ رہتے.

われがかれ(スライマーン)に死の断を下した時も,かれらにその死を知らせたのは,一匹の地の虫がかれの杖を蝕ばんだことであった。それでかれが倒れると,ジンたちは(始めて)悟った。もしも幽玄界のことを知っていたならば,恥辱の懲罰に服している要もなかったのに。
ChineseMa Jian
我决定他死亡的时候,只有持他的手杖的柱虫,指示他们他已经死了。当他倒下的时候,精灵们恍然大悟:假若他们能知幽玄,那末,他们未曾逗留在凌辱的刑罚中。

Tafsir of 34:14

The Death of Sulayman Allah tells us how Sulayman, peace be upon him, died and how Allah concealed his death from the Jinn who were subjugated to him to do hard labor. He remained leaning on his stick, which was his staff, as Ibn `Abbas may Allah be pleased with him, Mujahid, Al-Hasan, Qatadah and others said. He stayed like that for a long time, nearly a year. When a creature of the earth, which was a kind of worm, ate through the stick, it became weak and fell to the ground. Then it became apparent that he had died a long time before. It also became clear to Jinn and men alike that the Jinn do not know the Unseen as they (the Jinn) used to imagine and tried to deceive people. This is what Allah says: مَا دَلَّهُمْ عَلَى مَوْتِهِ إِلاَّ دَابَّةُ الاٌّرْضِ تَأْكُلُ مِنسَأَتَهُ فَلَمَّا خَرَّ تَبَيَّنَتِ الْجِنُّ أَن لَّوْ كَانُواْ يَعْلَمُونَ الْغَيْبَ مَا لَبِثُواْ فِى الْعَذَابِ الْمُهِينِ (nothing informed them (Jinn) of his death except a little worm of the earth which kept (slowly) gnawing away at his stick.…
