Then, do they not look at what is before them and what is behind them of the heaven and earth? If We should will, We could cause the earth to swallow them or [could] let fall upon them fragments from the sky. Indeed in that is a sign for every servant turning back [to Allāh].

وَلِسُلَيْمَـٰنَ And to Sulaiman ٱلرِّيحَ the wind غُدُوُّهَا its morning course شَهْرٌۭ (was) a month وَرَوَاحُهَا and its afternoon course شَهْرٌۭ ۖ (was) a month وَأَسَلْنَا and We caused to flow لَهُۥ for him عَيْنَ a spring ٱلْقِطْرِ ۖ (of) molten copper وَمِنَ And [of] ٱلْجِنِّ the jinn مَن who يَعْمَلُ worked بَيْنَ before him يَدَيْهِ before him بِإِذْنِ by the permission رَبِّهِۦ ۖ (of) his Lord وَمَن And whoever يَزِغْ deviated مِنْهُمْ among them عَنْ from أَمْرِنَا Our Command نُذِقْهُ We will make him taste مِنْ of عَذَابِ (the) punishment ٱلسَّعِيرِ (of) the Blaze ١٢

And among the jinn were those who worked for him by the permission of his Lord. And whoever deviated among them from Our command - We will make him taste of the punishment of the Blaze.
