هَـٰذَا عَطَآؤُنَا فَٱمْنُنْ أَوْ أَمْسِكْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ
H atha AAa ta on a fa o mnun aw amsik bighayri h is a b in
[And We told him:] "This is Our gift, for thee to bestow freely on others, or to withhold, without [having to render] account!"
  - Mohammad Asad
We said to him: "This is Our gift: you may give or withhold to whomever you want, without any accountability."
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
'Allah said,' 'This is Our gift, so give or withhold 'as you wish', never to be called to account.'
  - Mustafa Khattab
(Saying): This is Our gift, so bestow thou, or withhold, without reckoning.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
"Such are Our Bounties: whether thou bestow them (on others) or withhold them no account will be asked." 4196
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Allah bestowed such abundant powers and bounties on Solomon that they could not be counted or measured: and he was free to give away anything he liked or keep anything he liked. In this was great temptation for an ordinary man. Solomon as a prophet withstood it and asked to be forgiven for power and such a kingdom as others might not be able to use lawfully. His earthly kingdom went to pieces after his death. But his name and fame endure. And what is more, he obtained a place among the Nearest Ones to Allah. See next verse.
