Aya 40
40
قالَ الَّذي عِندَهُ عِلمٌ مِنَ الكِتابِ أَنا آتيكَ بِهِ قَبلَ أَن يَرتَدَّ إِلَيكَ طَرفُكَ ۚ فَلَمّا رَآهُ مُستَقِرًّا عِندَهُ قالَ هٰذا مِن فَضلِ رَبّي لِيَبلُوَني أَأَشكُرُ أَم أَكفُرُ ۖ وَمَن شَكَرَ فَإِنَّما يَشكُرُ لِنَفسِهِ ۖ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَإِنَّ رَبّي غَنِيٌّ كَريمٌ

But he who was deeply-versed in the Book,1 said: ‘I will bring it to you in a twinkling.’ And when he saw it set before him, Solomon said: ‘This is a favour from my Lord with which He would test my gratitude. He that gives thanks has much to gain; but he who is ungrateful … My Lord is all-sufficient and gracious!’
  • Assaf ben Berachia, according to the commentators.
