وَجَدتُّهَا وَقَوْمَهَا يَسْجُدُونَ لِلشَّمْسِ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ فَهُمْ لَا يَهْتَدُونَ
I found her and her people prostrating to the sun instead of Allah, and Satan has made their deeds pleasing to them and averted them from [His] way, so they are not guided,
Translation · Saheeh International
Ibn Kathīr (abridged)
How the Hoopoe came before Sulayman and told Him about Saba'
Allah says:
فَمَكَثَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ
(But (the hoopoe) stayed not long,) meaning, he was absent for only a short time. Then he came and said to Sulayman:
أَحَطتُ بِمَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِ
(I have grasped which you have not grasped) meaning, `I have come to know something that you and your troops do not know.'
