): Its early morning
(stride) was a month's (journey), and its evening (stride) was a
month's (journey); and We made a Font of molten brass to flow for him;
and there were jinns that worked in front of him, by the leave of his
Lord, and if any of them turned aside from Our command, We made him
taste of the Penalty of the Blazing Fire.
P: And unto Solomon (We gave) the wind, whereof the morning course was a
month's journey and the evening course a month's journey, and We caused
the fount of copper to gush forth for him, and (We gave him) certain of
the jinn who worked before him by permission of his Lord. And such of

Y: Then, when We decreed (Solomon's) death, nothing showed them his
death except a little worm of the earth, which kept (slowly) gnawing
away at his staff: so when he fell down, the jinns saw plainly that if
they had known the unseen, they would not have tarried in the
humiliating Penalty (of their Task).
P: And when We decreed death for him, nothing showed his death to them
