[Machine] "The hoopoe used to guide Solomon towards water. So I asked, how is that possible when the hoopoe is set up with a trap and dust is thrown on it? He said, 'May God make you as wise as your father. Was it not when death was approaching, did sight not go away?'"  

الحاكم:٣٥٢٥حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَمْشَاذَ الْعَدْلُ ثنا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْقَاضِي ثنا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ الْخِرِّيتِ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

«كَانَ الْهُدْهُدُ يَدُلُّ سُلَيْمَانَ عَلَى الْمَاءِ» فَقُلْتُ وَكَيْفَ ذَاكَ وَالْهُدْهُدُ يُنْصَبُ لَهُ الْفَخُّ يُلْقَى عَلَيْهِ التُّرَابُ؟ فَقَالَ «أَهْنَكَ اللَّهُ بِهَنِّ أَبِيكَ أَوَ لَمْ يَكُنْ إِذَا جَاءَ الْقَضَاءُ ذَهَبَ الْبَصَرُ؟»
