ما قصة سليمانعليه السلام مع ملكة سبأ ؟
ذهب الهدهد وألقى الكتاب إلى الملكة فقرأته, فجمعت أشراف قومها, وسمعها تقول لهم: إني وصل إليَّ كتاب جليل المقدار من شخص عظيم الشأن. ثم بيَّنت ما فيه فقالت: إنه من سليمان, وإنه مفتتح بـ بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ألا تتكبروا ولا تتعاظموا عما دعوتكم إليه, وأقْبِلوا إليَّ منقادين لله بالوحدانية والطاعة مسلمين له. قالت: يا أيها الأشراف أشيروا عليَّ في هذا الأمر, ما كنت لأفصل في أمر إلا بمحضركم ومشورتكم. قالوا مجيبين لها: نحن أصحاب قوة في العدد والعُدَّة وأصحاب النجدة والشجاعة في شدة الحرب, والأمر موكول إليكِ, وأنتِ صاحبة الرأي, فتأملي ماذا تأمريننا به؟ فنحن سامعون لأمرك مطيعون لك. قالت محذرةً لهم من مواجهة سليمان بالعداوة, ومبيِّنة لهم سوء مغبَّة القتال: إن الملوك إذا دخلوا بجيوشهم قريةً عنوةً وقهرًا خرَّبوها وصيَّروا أعزَّة أهلها أذلة, وقتلوا وأسروا, وهذه عادتهم المستمرة الثابتة لحمل الناس على أن يهابوهم. وإني مرسلة إلى سليمان وقومه بهديَّة مشتملة على نفائس الأموال أصانعه بها, ومنتظرة ما يرجع به الرسل. فلمَّا جاء رسول الملكة بالهديَّة إلى سليمان, قال مستنكرًا ذلك متحدثًا بأَنْعُمِ الله عليه: أتمدونني بمالٍ تَرْضيةً لي؟ فما أعطاني الله من النبوة والملك والأموال الكثيرة خير وأفضل مما أعطاكم، بل أنتم الذين تفرحون بالهدية التي تُهدى إليكم; لأنكم أهل مفاخرة بالدنيا و مكاثرة بها. وقال سليمان عليه السلام لرسول أهل سبأ: ارجع إليهم, فو الله لنأتينَّهم بجنود لا طاقة لهم بمقاومتها ومقابلتها, ولنخرجنَّهم مِن أرضهم أذلة وهم صاغرون مهانون, إن لم ينقادوا لدين الله وحده, ويتركوا عبادة من سواه. قال سليمان مخاطبًا من سَخَّرهم الله له من الجن والإنس: أيُّكم يأتيني بسرير ملكها العظيم قبل أن يأتوني منقادين طائعين؟قال مارد قويٌّ شديد من الجن: أنا آتيك به قبل أن تقوم من مجلسك هذا, وإني لقويٌّ على حَمْله, أمين على ما فيه, آتي به كما هو لا أُنقِص منه شيئًا ولا أبدله. قال الذي عنده علم من الكتاب: أنا آتيك بهذا العرش قبل ارتداد أجفانك إذا تحرَّكَتْ للنظر في شيء. فأذن له سليمان فدعا الله, فأتى بالعرش. فلما رآه سليمان حاضرًا لديه ثابتًا عنده قال: هذا مِن فضل ربي الذي خلقني وخلق الكون كله؛ ليختبرني: أأشكر بذلك اعترافًا بنعمته تعالى عليَّ أم أكفر بترك الشكر؟ ومن شكر لله على نعمه فإنَّ نَفْعَ ذلك يرجع إليه, ومن جحد النعمة وترك الشكر فإن ربي غني عن شكره, كريم يعم بخيره في الدنيا الشاكر والكافر, ثم يحاسبهم ويجازيهم في الآخرة. قال سليمان لمن عنده: غيِّروا سرير ملكها الذي تجلس عليه إلى حال تنكره إذا رأته; لنرى أتهتدي إلى معرفته أم تكون من الذين لا يهتدون؟ فلما جاءت ملكة سبأ إلى سليمان في مجلسه قيل لها: أهكذا عرشك؟ قالت: إنه يشبهه. فظهر لسليمان أنها أصابت في جوابها, وقد علمت قدرة الله وصحة نبوة سليمان عليه السلام, فقال: وأوتينا العلم بالله وبقدرته مِن قبلها, وكنا منقادين لأمر الله متبعين لدين الإسلام. ومَنَعَها عن عبادة الله وحده ما كانت تعبده مِن دون الله تعالى, إنها كانت كافرة ونشأت بين قوم كافرين, واستمرت على دينهم, وإلا فلها من الذكاء والفطنة ما تعرف به الحق من الباطل, ولكن العقائد الباطلة تُذهب بصيرة القلب. قيل لها: ادخلي القصر, وكان صحنه مِن زجاج تحته ماء, فلما رأته ظنته ماء تتردد أمواجه, وكشفت عن ساقيها لتخوض الماء, فقال لها سليمان: إنه صحن أملس من زجاج صاف والماء تحته. فأدركت عظمة ملك سليمان, وقالت: رب إني ظلمت نفسي بما كنت عليه من الشرك, وانقدتُ متابعة لسليمان داخلة في دين رب العالمين أجمعين.قَالَتْ يَا أَيُّهَا المَلَأُ إِنِّي أُلْقِيَ إِلَيَّ كِتَابٌ كَرِيمٌ{29} إِنَّهُ مِن سُلَيْمَانَ وَإِنَّهُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ{30} أَلَّا تَعْلُوا عَلَيَّ وَأْتُونِي مُسْلِمِينَ{31} قَالَتْ يَا أَيُّهَا المَلَأُ أَفْتُونِي فِي أَمْرِي مَا كُنتُ قَاطِعَةً أَمْراً حَتَّى تَشْهَدُونِ{32} قَالُوا نَحْنُ أُوْلُوا قُوَّةٍ وَأُولُوا بَأْسٍ شَدِيدٍ وَالْأَمْرُ إِلَيْكِ فَانظُرِي مَاذَا تَأْمُرِينَ{33} قَالَتْ إِنَّ الْمُلُوكَ إِذَا دَخَلُوا قَرْيَةً أَفْسَدُوهَا وَجَعَلُوا أَعِزَّةَ أَهْلِهَا أَذِلَّةً وَكَذَلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ{34} وَإِنِّي مُرْسِلَةٌ إِلَيْهِم بِهَدِيَّةٍ فَنَاظِرَةٌ بِمَ يَرْجِعُ الْمُرْسَلُونَ{35} فَلَمَّا جَاء سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ أَتُمِدُّونَنِ بِمَالٍ فَمَا آتَانِيَ اللَّهُ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا آتَاكُم بَلْ أَنتُم بِهَدِيَّتِكُمْ تَفْرَحُونَ{36} ارْجِعْ إِلَيْهِمْ فَلَنَأْتِيَنَّهُمْ بِجُنُودٍ لَّا قِبَلَ لَهُم بِهَا وَلَنُخْرِجَنَّهُم مِّنْهَا أَذِلَّةً وَهُمْ صَاغِرُونَ{37} قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا المَلَأُ أَيُّكُمْ يَأْتِينِي بِعَرْشِهَا قَبْلَ أَن يَأْتُونِي مُسْلِمِينَ{38} قَالَ عِفْريتٌ مِّنَ الْجِنِّ أَنَا آتِيكَ بِهِ قَبْلَ أَن تَقُومَ مِن مَّقَامِكَ وَإِنِّي عَلَيْهِ لَقَوِيٌّ أَمِينٌ{39} قَالَ الَّذِي عِندَهُ عِلْمٌ مِّنَ الْكِتَابِ أَنَا آتِيكَ بِهِ قَبْلَ أَن يَرْتَدَّ إِلَيْكَ طَرْفُكَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ مُسْتَقِرّاً عِندَهُ قَالَ هَذَا مِن فَضْلِ رَبِّي لِيَبْلُوَنِي أَأَشْكُرُ أَمْ أَكْفُرُ وَمَن شَكَرَ فَإِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهِ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ رَبِّي غَنِيٌّ كَرِيمٌ{40} قَالَ نَكِّرُوا لَهَا عَرْشَهَا نَنظُرْ أَتَهْتَدِي أَمْ تَكُونُ مِنَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَهْتَدُونَ{41} فَلَمَّا جَاءتْ قِيلَ أَهَكَذَا عَرْشُكِ قَالَتْ كَأَنَّهُ هُوَ وَأُوتِينَا الْعِلْمَ مِن قَبْلِهَا وَكُنَّا مُسْلِمِينَ{42} وَصَدَّهَا مَا كَانَت تَّعْبُدُ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ إِنَّهَا كَانَتْ مِن قَوْمٍ كَافِرِينَ{43} قِيلَ لَهَا ادْخُلِي الصَّرْحَ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ حَسِبَتْهُ لُجَّةً وَكَشَفَتْ عَن سَاقَيْهَا قَالَ إِنَّهُ صَرْحٌ مُّمَرَّدٌ مِّن قَوَارِيرَ قَالَتْ رَبِّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي وَأَسْلَمْتُ مَعَ سُلَيْمَانَ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ{44}النمل.
قصة ملكة سبأ
The hoopoe went and threw the book at the queen, who read it and gathered her nobles. She said to them, 'A great book has reached me from a person of high standing.' She then explained its contents, saying, 'It is from Solomon, and it begins with 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Do not be arrogant, nor be proud of what I have called you to, and come to me in submission to Allah, as Muslims.' She said to her nobles, 'Adviseme in this matter, for I do not decide on any matter without your consultation.' They replied, 'We are strong in numbers and equipment, and brave in war. The matter is yours, and you are the one with the wisdom. So, tell us what you command, and we will obey you.' She warned them against facing Solomon with hostility and explained the futility of war, saying, 'Kings, when they enter a town, ravage it and make its nobles humble. This is their consistent way of instilling fear in people.' She sent a gift to Solomon and his people, and awaited the return of the messengers. When the queen's messenger arrived with the gift, Solomon said, 'Do you try to bribe me with money to please me? What Allah has given me in prophecy, kingship, and abundant wealth is better than what He has given you. Rather, it is you who rejoice in the gift that is given to you, for you are proud of this world and boast about it.' Solomon said to the messenger of the people of Sheba, 'Go back to them, for by Allah, we will send them armies against which they will have no power to resist or confront. We will drive them out of their land in humiliation and disgrace, unless they submit to Allah's religion alone and abandon the worship of anything else.' Solomon asked, 'Which of you will bring me the throne of the queen before they come to me in submission?' A powerful and strong jinn said, 'I will bring it to you before you rise from your seat. I am strong enough to carry it, and I am trustworthy; I will bring it to you as it is, without diminishing or changing anything.' The one who had knowledge of the Book said, 'I will bring it to you before your eyelid drops.' Solomon gave him permission, and he invoked Allah and brought the throne. When Solomon saw it present before him, he said, 'This is from the favor of my Lord to test me: whether I will be grateful for this blessing or ungrateful. Whoever is grateful does so for his own benefit, and whoever is ungrateful, my Lord is Independent, Most Generous. He bestows His bounty on whomever He wills, both in this world and the Hereafter.' Solomon said to those around him, 'Change the queen's throne into a different form when she sees it; let us see if she will recognize it or be one of those who do not recognize it.' When the queen of Sheba came to Solomon in his assembly, she was asked, 'Is this your throne?' She said, 'It is like it.' Solomon knew that she had recognized it and believed in Allah's power and Solomon's prophecy. He said, 'We have been given knowledge before it, and we were Muslims.' What prevented her from worshipping Allah alone was what she used to worship besides Him. She was from a people who were disbelievers. Although she had intelligence and understanding, false beliefs can mislead one's judgment. She was told, 'Enter the glass palace,' and when she saw it, she thought it was water, and she uncovered her legs to wade in it. Solomon said, 'It is a glass floor with water underneath.' She realized the greatness of Solomon's kingdom and said, 'Lord, I have wronged myself, and I submit with Solomon to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.'
