Sura 38
Aya 33
33
رُدّوها عَلَيَّ ۖ فَطَفِقَ مَسحًا بِالسّوقِ وَالأَعناقِ

Ali Unal

(He commanded): “Bring them back to me.” Then, he rubbed down their legs and their necks.1
  • The Prophet Solomon, upon him be peace, was a Prophet-king. But nothing of the world, even those nobly bred horses, kept and trained for fighting in God’s cause, ever prevented him from remembrance of God, because remembrance of God is the most important thing. He loved everything for God’s sake or because of his love for God. So these three verses, which come after the verse that states Solomon, upon him be peace, was one ever-turning to God in devotion, emphasize Solomon’s deep devotion to God despite his being a powerful king.
