10. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from some of our people from al-Husayn ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman from Sandal al-Khayyat from Zayd al-Shahham who has said that he asked abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) about the meaning of the the following words of Allah. “This is our gift to you, you may grant it others or keep it without being held responsible (38:39)” The Imam (a.s.) said, “Solomon was given a great kingdom. This verse continued to apply to the Messenger of Allah. He had authority to grant whatever he wished to whomever he wished and withhold from whomever he wished. Allah granted him a favor greater than what He had granted to Solomon as He has said, “. .what the Messenger (of Allah) you, you must take (obey) and what he prohibits you, you must desist from. .” (59:7)”
