قَالَ الَّذ۪ي عِنْدَهُ عِلْمٌ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ اَنَا۬ اٰت۪يكَ بِه۪ قَبْلَ اَنْ يَرْتَدَّ اِلَيْكَ طَرْفُكَۜ فَلَمَّا رَاٰهُ مُسْتَقِرًّا عِنْدَهُ قَالَ هٰذَا مِنْ فَضْلِ رَبّ۪ي۠ لِيَبْلُوَن۪ٓي ءَاَشْكُرُ اَمْ اَكْفُرُۜ وَمَنْ شَكَرَ فَاِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِه۪ۚ وَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَاِنَّ رَبّ۪ي غَنِيٌّ كَر۪يمٌ ٤٠

English Translation
40Meanwhile, the one who had knowledge of the Book stood up and said: "I will bring it to you in the blink of an eye." When Solomon saw the throne set before him, he said: "This is a favor and a bounty from my Lord to me. He is testing me to see whether I will be grateful or ungrateful. The truth is that whoever is grateful is grateful only for his own good, but whoever is ungrateful, let him know well that my Lord has no need of his gratitude. He is most generous."
