| Dr Kamal Omar And surely, indeed We put Sulaiman to test when We dropped on his chair Jasadan [a mere body (Sulaiman probably felt a sudden disappearance of physical power in his body and while trying to sit, he fell on the chair in semi-paralysed fashion. This could be to make him remind that all power, whether of the physical body or as head of a magnificent empire, proceeds from Allah,)] then (instead of blaming Allah) he turned (to Allah for forgiveness and mercy) |
| Dr Laleh Bakhtiar And, certainly, We tried Solomon. We cast a lifeless body on his seat. Again, he was penitent |
| Dr Munir Munshey We certainly put Sulaiman through a test. We raised (his heir) to the throne to be just a figure _ just a body (inept and incompetent). Then He repented and turned back (from his desire to bequeath the throne to one of his own descendants) |
| Edward Henry Palmer And we did try Solomon, and we threw upon his throne a form; then he turned repentant |
| Farook Malik Behold, We also put Solomon to test and placed a mere body on his throne, then he turned to Us in repentance |
| George Sale We also tried Solomon, and placed on his throne a counterfeit body: Afterwards he turned unto God |
| Maududi Surely We put Solomon to the test and cast upon his throne a mere body. Thereupon he penitently turned (to Us) |
