quran:27:36 –

So when they came to Solomon, he said, "Do you provide me with wealth? But what Allah has given me is better than what He has given you. Rather, it is you who rejoice in your gift.  

But when he, the envoy, came to Solomon, with the gift and the servants, he said, ‘Are you supplying me with wealth? What God has given me, of prophethood and kingship, is better than what He has given you, of ˹the things of˺ this world. Nay, but it is you ˹and not I˺ who exult in your gift, for you pride yourselves upon ˹the possession of˺ the ornaments of this world!
القرآن:٢٧:٣٦ –

فَلَمَّا جَاءَ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ أَتُمِدُّونَنِ بِمَالٍ فَمَا آتَانِيَ اللَّهُ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا آتَاكُمْ بَلْ أَنْتُمْ بِهَدِيَّتِكُمْ تَفْرَحُونَ  

{فلما جاء} الرسول بالهدية ومعه أتباعه {سليمان قال أتمدونن بمال فما أتانيَ الله} من النبوة والملك {خير مما آتاكم} من الدنيا {بل أنتم بهديتكم تفرحون} لفخركم بزخارف الدنيا.
