وَلِسُلَيْمَـٰنَ ٱلرِّيحَ عَاصِفَةً تَجْرِى بِأَمْرِهِۦٓ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِى بَـٰرَكْنَا فِيهَا ۚ وَكُنَّا بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَـٰلِمِينَ Qur’an Al-Anbiya (21:81)
Walisulaym a na a l rree h a AA as ifatan tajree biamrihi il a alar d i allatee b a rakn a feeh a wakunn a bikulli shayin AA a limeen a
And unto Solomon [We made subservient] the stormy wind, so that it sped at his behest towar'ds the land which We had blessed:75 for it is We who have knowledge of everything.
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

This is apparently an allusion to the fleets of sailing ships which brought untold riches to Palestine ("the land which We had blessed") and made Solomon’s wealth proverbial.

We made the raging winds subservient to Sulaiman, pursuing its course by his command to the land which We had blessed; and We have knowledge of everything.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
And to Solomon We subjected the raging winds, blowing by his command to the land We had showered with blessings. It is We Who know everything.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
And unto Solomon (We subdued) the wind in its raging. It set by His command toward the land which We had blessed. And of everything We are aware.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall

(It was Our power that made) the violent (unruly) wind flow (tamely) for Solomon to his order to the land which We had blessed: for We do know all things. 2736 2737
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Cf. xxxiv. 12, and xxxviii. 36-38, This has been interpreted to mean that Solomon had miraculous power over the winds, and he could make them obey his order. In any case the power behind was, and is, from Allah, Who has granted man intelligence and the faculties by which he can tame the more unruly forces of nature.

Evidently Palestine, in which was Solomon's capital, though his influence extended for north in Syria.
