ENGLISH TRANSLATION
When this delegation
returned to the Queen of Saba and reported this incident to her, she and her
people listened and obeyed. She then started to move towards the kingdom of
Suleman (peace be upon him) with her army submissively. When Suleman (peace be
upon him) had confirmation of their arrival he was quite pleased and he thanked
Allah. He intended to show her a sign from the signs of Allah so that it would
be a clearer evidence of Allah’s power and His favor upon Suleman (peace be
upon him). He desired to bring the queen’s throne that she had put under the
care of strong and trustworthy men. He asked his chiefs to bring forth her
throne before the arrival of their great procession.
What Suleman (peace
be upon him) desired was realized in the shortest possible time and this was a
miracle. Suleman (peace be upon him) ordered that some of the qualities of the
throne be changed so that he could test her recognition of it and her firmness
when she saw it. If the matter was ambiguous to her then it would be evidence
towards her limited vision in deeper and more intangible matters.
