And so34 We made subservient to him the wind, so that it gently sped at his behest withersoever he willed,35
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., as a reward for his humility and turning-away from worldly ambitions, implied in the prayer, "Forgive me my sins".

Cf. 21:81 and the corresponding note [75]. For the meaning, in general, of the many legends surrounding the person of Solomon, see note [77] on 21:82 .

We accepted his prayer and subjected to him the wind, which blew gently in whichever direction he wanted;
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
So We subjected to him the wind, blowing gently at his command to wherever he pleased.
  - Mustafa Khattab
So We made the wind subservient unto him, setting fair by his command whithersoever he intended.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Then We subjected the Wind to his power to flow gently to his order whithersoever he willed 4193
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Cf. xxi. 81, and n. 2736.
