3) Which two things are attached to each other?
4) Which is the most awe-creating thing?
5, Which two things remain unchanged?
6) Which two things are always different?
7) Which two things are opposed to each other?
8) What is the action the result of which is good?
9) What is that action the result of which is bad?
The first 18 sons of Prophet Dawood felt helpless and could not answer any of these questions. Then the youngest of the sons, Prophet Sulaiman (Solomon) stood up and gave the following answers:
The nearest things to a man is the hereafter (Life and Death - as one may die any moment);
The farthest things is the time which has passed away (which is not to come again);
The two things that are attached to each other is man's body with the soul;
The most awe-creating is the man's body (dead) without soul;
The two things which remain the same are the sky and the earth;
The two things which are different are the day and night;
The two things which are opposed to each other are life and death;
The action - the end of which is good - is patience and forbearance at the time of anger;
The action - the end of which is bad is haste at the time of anger.
Prophet Dawood obviously, was very much impressed with his knowledge and appointed Prophet Sulaiman as his successor.
Thus it will be seen that it was the supreme knowledge and wisdom that made Prophet Sulaiman succeed his father and become the Great King Prophet.
Never take some one for granted,Hold every person Close to your Heart because you might wake up one day and realize that you have lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones." Remember this always in life.
