ENGLISH TRANSLATION
The queen sent a great gift to him (Suleman peace be upon him), that was
befitting for the kings. When the gift reached Suleman (peace be upon him), he
turned away and abstained from it. He said, “Are you bargaining with me by
offering me wealth so that I will leave you all to continue engaging in your
polytheism? What Allah has given me in
terms of kingdom, wealth and armies is better than what you have sent to me.
The matter is very serious and it is not fun. The issue is the issue of calling
( to Allah) and obedience.”
He warned them of his intention of marching (with his army) towards
their kingdom.
