Sulaiman's Inquiry About the Hoopoe

The story begins with Prophet Sulaiman (peace be upon him) noticing the absence of the hoopoe bird (" الهدهد ") during his inspection of the birds. He expresses his concern, questioning why he doesn't see the hoopoe, and warns that if the bird's absence is unjustified, he will punish it severely or even slaughter it, unless it provides a clear explanation for its absence.

The Hoopoe's Report

The hoopoe returns shortly after and informs Sulaiman that it has come from Sheba (Saba) with important news. The hoopoe reports that it found a woman ruling over them, who has been given everything and possesses a magnificent throne. The hoopoe then reveals that the queen and her people prostrate to the sun instead of Allah, and that Satan has made their deeds appealing to them, hindering them from the right path.

The Queen of Sheba and Her Kingdom

The hoopoe describes the Queen of Sheba and her kingdom, noting that she possesses everything and has a great throne. The hoopoe emphasizes that the queen and her people worship the sun instead of Allah. Satan has made their actions appear good to them, preventing them from following the right path.

Sulaiman Sends a Letter

Prophet Sulaiman decides to investigate the truthfulness of the hoopoe's report. He instructs the hoopoe to deliver a letter to the people of Sheba and then observe their reaction. The verse highlights Sulaiman's wisdom and his commitment to verifying information before taking action.
