Another companion chief, named Asif Barkhiya entered the conversation.

One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture said: I will bring it you before your gaze returns unto you (27:40)

In short, that royal throne was presented before him within twinkling of is eye. Seeing such a swift delivery to him he said:

This is the bounty of my Lord, that He may try me whether I give thanks or am grateful (27:40)

When the throne was brought near him, he said this after seeing it:

He said: disguise her throne for her that we may see whether she will go aright or be of those not rightly guided (27:41)

Thenceforth

So, when she came, it was said (unto her): Is your throne like this? She said: (It is) as though it were the very one. And (Solomon said): We were given the knowledge before her and we had surrendered (to Allah) (27:42)

Another test of the Queen Bilqees made by Hazrat Suleiman Alaihis-Salaam was in this way that his lords escorted her to a palace to let-up. The floor of this palace was so much polished and clear that it gave an impression of a pool of water.

*

When she reached that hall and was to set her step there, she took that for a pond of clear water and lifter her dress up from her calves. Companions of Hazrat Suleiman Alaihis-Salaam could not resist laughing at this gesture of her short sightedness and she was puzzled. This incident has come in the Holy Quran in these words:

It was unto her: Enter the hall. And when she saw it she deemed it a pool and bared her legs. (Solomon) said: It is a hall, made smooth, of glass. She said: My Lord! Lo! I have wronged myself, and I surrender with Solomon unto Allah, Lord of the Worlds (27:44)

And admitting her insufficient wisdom and the perfection and superiority of the Aqal-e-Kulli of the Messengers (of Allah) Alaihimus-Salaam, she said:

Verily! I have wronged myself.

for she decided to test Hazrat Suleiman Alaihis-Salaam.

Regret that the nature tempered Ulema of our age paraphrase these kinds of paranormal things and the truths of the Holy Quran in a very unreasonable way and they have totally distorted such truths in order to match with their crude material thoughts but we will prove all such Quranic paranormal and extraordinary occurrences and marvels and will show these materialistic minded blind Ulema on the basis of the modern theories put forth and the observations recorded by the European Materialistic researchers who are the forefathers of the said Ulema because these said Ulema are the buds of the trees planted by the said Europeans. That is why we have already narrated the fable of Hazrat Suleiman Alaihis-Salaam and the Queen Bilqees in detailed duly supported by the verses of the Holy Quran to prove that Hazrat Suleiman Alaihis-Salaam has become as the matchless and the most unique one amongst all the Holy Messengers (of Allah) Alaihimus-Salaam concerning the skill and application of the Taskheeraat of the Jinn. The way he possessed the Jinn and locked them in his command, none has done like this nor will be able to excel like him in this field. His this prayer is witness to this say:
