29* (Here is) a Book which We have sent down unto thee, full of blessings, that they may mediate on its Signs, and that men of understanding may receive admonition.  
| |30* To David We gave Solomon (for a son),- How excellent is the servant! Ever did he turn (to Us in repentance)!  
| |31* Behold, there were brought before him, at eventide coursers of the highest breeding, and swift of foot;  
| |32* And he said, "Truly do I prefer wealth to the remembrance of my Lord,"- until (the sun) was hidden in the veil (of night):  
| |33* "Bring them back to me." Then began he to pass his hand over (their) legs and their necks.  
| |34* And We did try Solomon: We placed on his throne a body; but he did turn (to Us in true devotion):  
| |35* He said, "O my Lord! Forgive me, and grant me a kingdom which will not belong to another after me: for Thou art the Grantor of Bounties (without measure).  
| |36* Then We subjected the wind to his power, to flow gently to his order, whithersoever he willed,-  
| |37* As also the Satans, (including) every kind of builder and diver,-  
| |38* As also others bound together in fetters.
