27.40

قَالَ الَّذِیْ عِنْدَهٗ عِلْمٌ مِّنَ الْكِتٰبِ اَنَا اٰتِیْكَ بِهٖ قَبْلَ اَنْ یَّرْتَدَّ اِلَیْكَ طَرْفُكَؕ-فَلَمَّا رَاٰهُ مُسْتَقِرًّا عِنْدَهٗ قَالَ هٰذَا مِنْ فَضْلِ رَبِّیْ ﱎ لِیَبْلُوَنِیْۤ ءَاَشْكُرُ اَمْ اَكْفُرُؕ-وَ مَنْ شَكَرَ فَاِنَّمَا یَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهٖۚ-وَ مَنْ كَفَرَ فَاِنَّ رَبِّیْ غَنِیٌّ كَرِیْمٌ(40)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

He who had knowledge of the Book submitted; that 'I will present it in your majesty's court before the blink of an eye.' When he then saw it placed next to him, Sulaimaan said, 'This is from the Favours of my Lord, so that He may test me whether I give thanks or I am ungrateful. And whosoever gives thanks, so, he only gives thanks for his own good; and whoever is ungrateful, so, my Lord is Ever Independent, Possessor of all excellences.'

Commentary

According to widely accepted interpretation, the “The one who had knowledge of the Book” refers to the vizier of Prophet Sulaymān عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام, Āsif ibn Barkhiyā رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ, who had knowledge of the Greatest Name of Allah Almighty (al-Ism al-AꜤẓam). He رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ stated that he would bring the throne to Prophet Sulaymān عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام before the blinking of his eye. Thus, after receiving permission, Āsif ibn Barkhiyā
رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ focussed and the throne appeared before Prophet Sulaymān عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام in an instant. This verse is proof of miracles performed by the saints (awliyāʾ ).
