ahmad-zuhd:216ʿAbdullāh > Bī > Aḥmad b. Muḥammad b. Ayyūb > Abū Bakr / Ibn ʿAyyāsh > Idrīs b. Wahbb. Munabbih from my father

[Machine] Indeed, the family of David was granted immense kingship, and the wind carried his words and cast them into the ear of Solomon, ﷺ . He said, "So he descended until he reached the field worker and said, 'I have heard your statement, and I only walked to you so that you do not desire what you are not capable of. A single glorification (of Allah) is better for you than what the family of David was granted.' The field worker said, 'May Allah remove your worries as you have removed mine.'"
