فلما قضينا عليه الموت ما دلهم على موته إلا دابة الأرض تأكل منسأته فلما خر تبينت الجن أن لو كانوا يعلمون الغيب ما لبثوا في العذاب المهين
فَلَمَّا قَضَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ الْمَوْتَ مَا دَلَّهُمْ عَلَى مَوْتِهِ إِلَّا دَابَّةُ الْأَرْضِ تَأْكُلُ مِنسَأَتَهُ فَلَمَّا خَرَّ تَبَيَّنَتِ الْجِنُّ أَن لَّوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ الْغَيْبَ مَا لَبِثُوا فِي الْعَذَابِ الْمُهِينِ

በእርሱም ላይ ሞትን በፈጸምንበት ጊዜ መሞቱን በትሩን የምትበላ ተንቀሳቃሽ ምስጥ እንጂ ሌላ አላመለከታቸውም፡፡ በወደቀ ጊዜም ጋኔኖች ሩቅን ምስጢር የሚያወቁ በኾኑ ኖሮ በአዋራጅ ስቃይ ውስጥ የማይቆይ እንደነበሩ ተረዱ፡፡

آل الجلالين

{ فلما قضينا عليه } على سليمان { الموت } أي مات ومكث قائما على عصاه حولا ميتا والجن تعمل تلك الأعمال الشاقة على عادتها لا تشعر بموته حتى أكلت الأرضة عصاه فخرّ ميتا { ما دلهم على موته إلا دابة الأرض} مصدر أرضت الخشبة بالبناء للمفعول أكلتها الأرضه { تأكل منسأته } بالهمز وتركه بألف عصاه لأنها ينسأ يطرد ويزجر بها {فلما خرَّ } ميتا { تبينت الجن } انكشف لهم { أن } مخففة أي أنهم { لو كانوا يعلمون الغيب } ومنه ما غاب عنهم من موت سليمان { ما لبثوا في العذاب المهين } العمل الشاق لهم لظنهم حياته خلاف ظنهم علم الغيب وعلم كونه سنة بحساب ما أكلته الأرضة من العصا بعد موته يوما وليلة مثلا .

মুহিউদ্দীন খান

যখন আমি সোলায়মানের মৃত্যু ঘটালাম, তখন ঘুণ পোকাই জিনদেরকে তাঁর মৃত্যু সম্পর্কে অবহিত করল। সোলায়মানের লাঠি খেয়ে যাচ্ছিল। যখন তিনি মাটিতে পড়ে গেলেন, তখন জিনেরা বুঝতে পারল যে, অদৃশ্য বিষয়ের জ্ঞান থাকলে তারা এই লাঞ্ছনাপূর্ণ শাস্তিতে আবদ্ধ থাকতো না।

Literal

So when We ordered/accomplished on him the death/lifelessness, nothing guided/lead them on (to) his death/lifelessness except the land's/Earth's walker/creeper/crawler , eating his shepherd's staff/stick, so when he fell down the Jinns clarified/explained (to themselves) that (E) if they were knowing the absent/covered , they would not have stayed/remained/waited in the torture the disgracing/degrading.

Yusuf Ali

Then, when We decreed (Solomon's) death, nothing showed them his death except a little worm of the earth, which kept (slowly) gnawing away at his staff: so when he fell down, the Jinns saw plainly that if they had known the unseen, they would not have tarried in the humiliating Penalty (of their Task).

Pickthal

And when We decreed death for him, nothing showed his death to them save a creeping creature of the earth which gnawed away his staff. And when he fell the jinn saw clearly how, if they had known the Unseen, they would not have continued in despised toil.

Arberry

And when We decreed that he should die, naught indicated to them that he was dead but the Beast of the Earth devouring his staff; and when he fell down, the jinn saw clearly that, had they only known the Unseen, they would not have continued in the humbling chastisement.

Shakir

But when We decreed death for him, naught showed them his death but a creature of the earth that ate away his staff; and when it fell down, the jinn came to know plainly that if they had known the unseen, they would not have tarried in abasing torment.

Sarwar

When We decreed that Solomon should die, no one knew of his death except for a creeping creature of the earth who ate-up his staff. When he fell down, the jinn realized that if they had known about the unseen, they would not have remained in such a humiliating torment for so long.

H/K/Saheeh

And when We decreed for Solomon death, nothing indicated to the jinn his death except a creature of the earth eating his staff. But when he fell, it became clear to the jinn that if they had known the unseen, they would not have remained in humiliating punishment.

Malik

When We decreed Solomon

Maulana Ali**

But when We decreed death for him, naught showed them his death but a creature of the earth that are away his staff. So when it fell down, the jinn saw clearly that, if they had known the unseen, they would not have tarried in humiliating torment.

Free Minds

Then, when We decreed death for him, nothing informed them of his death until a worm kept eating from his staff, so when he fell down, the Jinn realised that if they had known the unseen, they would not have remained in the humiliating retribution.

Qaribullah

And when We decreed (Solomon's) death, they had no indication that he was dead until (they saw a termite), a crawler of the earth eating away his staff. And when he fell down, the jinn realized that had they known the unseen, they would not have continued in their humiliating punishment.

George Sale

And when We had decreed that Solomon should die, nothing discovered his death unto them, except the creeping thing of the earth, which gnawed his staff. And when his body fell down, the genii plainly perceived that if they had known that which is secret, they had not continued in a vile punishment.

JM Rodwell

And when we decreed the death of Solomon, nothing shewed them that he was dead but a reptile of the earth that gnawed the staff which supported his corpse. And when it fell, the Djinn perceived that if they had known the things unseen, they had not continu

Asad

Yet [even Solomon had to die; but] when We decreed that he should die, nothing showed them that he was dead except an earthworm that gnawed away his staff. [This is yet another of the many Solomonic legends which had become an inalienable part of ancient Arabian tradition, and which the Quran uses as a vehicle for the allegorical illustration of some of its teachings. According to the legend alluded to above, Solomon died on his throne leaning forward on his staff, and for a length of time nobody became aware of his death: with the result that the jinn, who had been constrained to work for him, went on labouring at the heavy tasks assigned to them. Gradually, however, a termite ate away Solomon's staff, and his body, deprived of support, fell to the ground. This story - only hinted at in its outline - is apparently used here as an allegory of the insignificance and inherent brittleness of human life and of the perishable nature and emptiness of all worldly might and glory.] And when he fell to the ground, those invisible beings [subservient to him] saw clearly that, had they but understood the reality which was beyond the reach of their perception, [Al-ghayb, "that which is beyond the reach of [a created being's] perception", either in an absolute or - as in this instance - in a relative, temporary sense.] they would not have continued [to toil] in the shameful suffering [of servitude] [I.e., because they would have known that Solomon's sway over them had ended. In the elliptic manner so characteristic of the Quran, stress is laid here, firstly, on the limited nature of all empirical knowledge, including the result of deductions and inferences based on no more than observable or calculable phenomena, and, secondly, on the impossibility to determine correctly, on the basis of such limited fragments of knowledge alone, what course of action would be right in a given situation. Although the story as such relates to "invisible beings", its moral lesson (which may be summed up in the statement that empirical knowledge cannot provide any ethical guideline unless it is accompanied, and completed, by divine guidance) is obviously addressed to human beings as well.]

Khalifa**

When the appointed time for his death came, they had no clue that he had died. Not until one of the animals tried to eat his staff, and he fell down, did the jinns realized that he was dead. They thus realized that if they really knew the unseen, they would have stopped working so hard as soon as he died.

Hilali/Khan**

Then when We decreed death for him (Sulaiman (Solomon)), nothing informed them (jinns) of his death except a little worm of the earth, which kept (slowly) gnawing away at his stick, so when he fell down, the jinns saw clearly that if they had known the unseen, they would not have stayed in the humiliating torment.

QXP Shabbir Ahemd**

When We decreed death for him (Solomon), nothing showed his death to the Wild Tribes until a creature of the earth ate away the strength he had mustered. When the power base fell, the Wild Tribes rebelled regretting that they should have done it sooner only if they knew the new unjust King. (The 'creature of the earth' was the highly incompetent son Rehoboam, and successor of Solomon 38:34. Historically, ten of the Israelite Tribes also broke away from the Kingdom at that point).

Mutta kun Me päätimme, että hänen oli kuoltava, tuli tämä heille siten tiedoksi, että Salomon maallisiin kiintynyt perillinen saattoi valtakunnan hajoamistilaan; ja kun se luhistui, dzinnit havaitsivat, että jos he olisivat olleet näkymättömistä asioista perillä, ei heidän olisi tarvinnut ikeen alla tuskitella.

Na kagiya a pakanggolalann Ami ron so kapatay, na da a miyakatoro kiran ko kiyapatay niyan a inonta so ingan ko lopa, a pkhn iyan so tongkat iyan: Na kagiya a maothang; na miyapayag so manga jinn a opama ka siran na katawi ran so migagaib, na di siran malanggay ko karomasayan a phakahina.

Ahmed Raza Khan

پھر جب ہم نے اس پر موت کا حکم بھیجا جنوں کو اس کی موت نہ بتائی مگر زمین کی دیمک نے کہ اس کا عصا کھاتی تھی، پھر جب سلیمان زمین پر آیا جِنوں کی حقیقت کھل گئی اگر غیب جانتے ہوتے تو اس خواری کے عذاب میں نہ ہوتے

Shabbir Ahmed

پھر جب نافذ کیا ہم نے سلیمان پر موت (کا فیصلہ) تو نہ پتہ دیا ان جنات کو اس کی موت کا مگر دیمک نے جو کھارہی تھی اس کے عصا کو، پھر جب وہ گر پڑے تب معلوم ہوا جنات کو کہ اگر جانتے ہوتے وہ غیب تو نہ مبتلا ہوتے وہ ذلت کے عذاب میں۔

Fateh Muhammad Jalandhary

پھر جب ہم نے ان کے لئے موت کا حکم صادر کیا تو کسی چیز سے ان کا مرنا معلوم نہ ہوا مگر گھن کے کیڑے سے جو ان کے عصا کو کھاتا رہا۔ جب عصا گر پڑا تب جنوں کو معلوم ہوا (اور کہنے لگے) کہ اگر وہ غیب جانتے ہوتے تو ذلت کی تکلیف میں نہ رہتے

Mehmood Al Hassan

پھر جب مقرر کیا ہم نےاس پر موت کو نہ جتلایا ان کو اس کا مرنا مگر کیڑے نے گھن کے کھاتا رہا اس کا عصا پھر جب وہ گر پڑا معلوم کیا جنوں نے کہ اگر خبر رکھتے ہوتے غیب کی نہ رہتے ذلت کی تکلیف میں

Abul Ala Maududi

پھر جب سلیمانؑ پر ہم نے موت کا فیصلہ نافذ کیا تو جنوں کو اس کی موت کا پتہ دینے والی کوئی چیز اُس گھن کے سوا نہ تھی جو اس کے عصا کو کھا رہا تھا اس طرح جب سلیمانؑ گر پڑا تو جنوں پر یہ بات کھل گئی کہ اگر وہ غیب کے جاننے والے ہوتے تو اس ذلت کے عذاب میں مبتلا نہ رہتے

Ahmed Ali

پھر جب ہم نے اس پر موت کا حکم کیا تو انہیں ا سکی موت کا پتہ نہ دیا مگر گھن کے کیڑے نے جو اس کے عصا کو کھا رہا تھا پھر جب گر پڑا تو جنوں نے معلوم کیا کہ اگر وہ غیب کو جانتے ہوتے تو اس ذلت کے عذاب میں نہ پڑے رہتے
