قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {وَمَا كَفَرَ سُلَيْمَانُ} [البقرة: 102]

nasai-kubra:10926Muḥammad b. al-ʿAlāʾ > Abū Muʿāwiyah > al-Aʿmash > al-Minhāl b. ʿAmr > Saʿīd b. Jubayr > Ibn ʿAbbās

[Machine] That the truth should be for the people of Jarada, so he judged for them and was punished when his desires were not in them one by one. Then he came when Allah wanted to test him, so He gave him the ring and entered the castle. And Satan took the form of Sulaiman and said, "Give me my ring," so she gave him his ring and he wore it. And when he wore it, the demons, humans, jinn, and everything obeyed him. He said, "Then Sulaiman came to her and said, 'Give me my ring.'" She said, "You are not Sulaiman." Sulaiman said, "Indeed, this is from the command of Allah. He tested me with it." So he left and began saying, "I am Sulaiman." They stoned him until they broke his ankle. So he went carrying on the seashore, and Satan stayed among them, marrying his wives and passing judgments between them. And when Allah wanted to take away Sulaiman's kingdom, the demons went and wrote books in which there was magic and disbelief. They buried them under Sulaiman's chair. Then they dug them up and said, "This is what used to test the jinn and humans." Sulaiman said, "So the people disbelieved in Sulaiman until Allah sent Muhammad. So Allah revealed to Muhammad, 'And Sulaiman did not disbelieve, but the devils disbelieved.'" The one who did this said, "So Sulaiman went carrying on the seashore." When the people denied him, when Allah wanted to take away Sulaiman's kingdom, they denied him. So the demons went and came to his wives and asked them, and they said, "Indeed, he used to come to us while we were menstruating, and he never used to come to us before that." So when the devil saw that his destruction was near, he fled and was thrown into the sea. In the narration, a fish swallowed him, so he took the fish with him until he reached him. He gave the fish that was in its belly the ring, and when he gave the fish the ring, it split its belly, wanting to roast it. And behold, he wore the ring, so humans and jinn came to him. So he sent in search of the devil, and they found that they were unable to bear him. So they said, "He is luring us." So they went, and they found him asleep, intoxicated. So they built a house for him from lead, then they came to take him, and he leaped and never landed on any side except that he took the lead with him. So they took him and brought him to Sulaiman. So Sulaiman ordered a grinder made of marble, and he was ground until he became fine powder. Then he ordered him to be thrown into the sea.
