Sura 21
Aya 81
81
وَلِسُلَيمانَ الرّيحَ عاصِفَةً تَجري بِأَمرِهِ إِلَى الأَرضِ الَّتي بارَكنا فيها ۚ وَكُنّا بِكُلِّ شَيءٍ عالِمينَ

Muhammad Asad

And unto Solomon [We made subservient] the stormy wind, so that it sped at his behest towards the land which We had blessed:1 for it is We who have knowledge of everything.
  • This is apparently an allusion to the fleets of sailing ships which brought untold riches to Palestine ("the land which We had blessed") and made Solomon's wealth proverbial.
