Prophet Sulaymān, he said to his followers, “Who will bring the throne of Bilqīs here?”

A jinn replied, “I will bring it to you before this assembly ends.”

“I want it quicker than this”, Prophet Sulaymān said.

Āṣif b. Barkhiyā then exclaimed:

اَنَا اٰتِیْکَ بِہٖ قَبْلَ  اَنْ یَّرْتَدَّ اِلَیْکَ طَرْفُکَ ؕ

“I will bring it to you before you blink.” ^[1]

سُـبْحٰـنَ الـلّٰــه When Prophet Sulaymān blinked, he then saw throne of Bilqīs before him.^[2]

اللہ!اللہ This is the karāmah of a saint. In the blink of an eye, Āṣif b. Barkhiyā brought a heavy throne situated miles away, and presented it to Prophet Sulaymān عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم.

This shows us how huge distances across the Earth can be shortened for the saints رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ. Distances no longer remain distant for them and they can travel many miles in one moment. This yet another karāmah described in the Quran.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
