@ 1181 Sheba receives Solomon's letter and sends him gifts 27:29-37
27:29 She (the Queen of Sheba) said, 'O Council, look, an honorable letter has been dropped to me.
# قَالَتْ يَا أَيُّهَا المَلأُ إِنِّي أُلْقِيَ إِلَيَّ كِتَابٌ كَرِيمٌ 29
27:30 It is from Solomon and it is "In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful.
# إِنَّهُ مِن سُلَيْمَانَ وَإِنِّهُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ 30
27:31 Do not rise up against me, but come to me in surrender (Muslims)."'
# أَلاَّ تَعْلُوا عَلَيَّ وَأْتُونِي مُسْلِمِينَ 31
27:32 She said, 'O Council, let me hear your counsel, concerning my affairs, for I am not used to deciding an affair until you bear me witness.'
# قَالَتْ يَا أَيُّهَا المَلأُ أَفْتُونِي فِي أَمْرِي مَا كُنتُ قَاطِعَةً أَمْراً حَتَّى تَشْهَدُونِ 32
27:33 They replied, 'We are possessors of force and great might. It is for you to command, so consider what you will.'
# قَالُوا نَحْنُ أُوْلُوا قُوَّةٍ وَأُوْلُوا بَأْسٍ شَدِيدٍ وَالأَمْرُ إِلَيْكِ فَانْظُرِي مَاذَا تَأْمُرِينَ 33
27:34 She said, 'When kings enter a village, they ruin it and humiliate its nobles. And this they will do.
# قَالَتْ إِنَّ المُلُوكَ إِذَا دَخَلُوا قَرْيَةً أَفْسَدُوهَا وَجَعَلُوا أَعِزَّةَ أَهْلِهَا أَذِلَّةً وَكَذَلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ 34
27:35 But I shall send them a gift and see what the messengers bring back.'
# وَإِنِّي مُرْسِلَةٌ إِلَيْهِم بِهَدِيَّةٍ فَنَاظِرَةٌ بِمَ يَرْجِعُ المُرْسَلُونَ 35
27:36 But when he came to Solomon, he said, 'Is it wealth that you would give me, when Allah has given me that which is better than He has given to you? No, but instead you rejoice in your gift!
# فَلَمَّا جَاءَ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ أَتُمِدُّونَنِ بِمَالٍ فَمَا آتَانِيَ اللَّهُ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا آتَاكُم بَلْ أَنتُم بِهَدِيَّتِكُمْ تَفْرَحُونَ 36
27:37 Go back then, we shall surely come against them with soldiers of which they have no power to oppose, and we shall drive them from there abased and humiliated.'
# ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِمْ فَلَنَأْتِيَنَّهُم بِجُنُودٍ لاَّ قِبَلَ لَهَُم بِهَا وَلَنُخْرِجَنَّهُم مِّنْهَا أَذِلَّةً وَهُمْ صَاغِرُونَ 37
