"Said one who had knowledge of the Book: "I will bring it to thee within the twinkling of an eye!" Then when [Solomon] saw it placed firmly before him, he said: "This is by the Grace of my Lord!- to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! and if any is grateful, truly his gratitude is [a gain] for his own soul; but if any is ungrateful, truly my Lord is Free of all Needs, Supreme in Honour!""— Yusuf Ali translation
