Ibn Kathīr (abridged)

Sulayman's Letter to Bilqis

Allah tells us what Sulayman said to the hoopoe when he told him about the people of Saba' and their queen:

قَالَ سَنَنظُرُ أَصَدَقْتَ أَمْ كُنتَ مِنَ الْكَـذِبِينَ

((Sulayman) said: "We shall see whether you speak the truth or you are (one) of the liars.") meaning, `are you telling the truth'

أَمْ كُنتَ مِنَ الْكَـذِبِينَ

(or you are (one) of the liars.) meaning, `or are you telling a lie in order to save yourself from the threat I made against you'
