قَالَ
الَّذِي
عِندَهُ
عِلْمٌ
مِّنَ
الْكِتَابِ
أَنَا
آتِيكَ
بِهِ
قَبْلَ
أَن
يَرْتَدَّ
إِلَيْكَ
طَرْفُكَ
فَلَمَّا
رَآهُ
مُسْتَقِرًّا
عِندَهُ
قَالَ
هَذَا
مِن
فَضْلِ
رَبِّي
لِيَبْلُوَنِي
أَأَشْكُرُ
أَمْ
أَكْفُرُ
وَمَن
شَكَرَ
فَإِنَّمَا
يَشْكُرُ
لِنَفْسِهِ
وَمَن
كَفَرَ
فَإِنَّ
رَبِّي
غَنِيٌّ
كَرِيمٌ

The one who had knowledge from the Book said, "I can bring it to you before you even blink your eye." When Solomon saw the throne placed before him, he said, "This is a favor from my Lord by which He wants to test whether I am grateful or ungrateful. Whoever thanks God does so for his own good. Whoever is ungrateful to God should know that my Lord is Self-Sufficient and Benevolent."
