hakim:7429Abū al-ʿAbbās Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb > Muḥammad b. Isḥāq al-Ṣaghānī > Abū al-Jawwāb > ʿAbd al-Jabbār b. al-ʿAbbās al-Shaybānī > Salamah b. Kuhayl > Saʿīd b. Jubayr > Ibn ʿAbbās

[Machine] "What are you and for what reason did you come?" She replied, "I am the hoopoe bird. I have come to witness the destruction of this mosque." Solomon, peace be upon him, knew that his death was near and that the sacred house would not be destroyed while he was alive. So, he called upon Allah the Almighty to cause the devil's death to put him to sleep. The jinn believed that the devils knew the unseen, so he died while leaning on his staff. The earth swallowed him and he fell down, and so it was the right of the devils that the earth brought them water as a sign of gratitude for what they had done with Solomon's staff."  

الحاكم:٧٤٢٩حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الصَّغَانِيُّ ثَنَا أَبُو الْجَوَّابِ ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ كَانَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ عَلَيْهِمَا الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ إِذَا صَلَّى الصَّلَاةَ طَلَعَتْ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ شَجَرَةٌ فَيَقُولُ لَهَا مَا أَنْتِ وَلِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ طَلَعْتِ؟ فَتَقُولُ أَنَا شَجَرَةُ كَذَا وَكَذَا طَلَعْتُ لِدَاءِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَلَمَّا صَلَّى ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ الْغَدَاةَ طَلَعَتْ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ شَجَرَةٌ فَقَالَ
