Book Name:Blessings of Imam al-Suyuti رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه
اَیُّكُمْ یَاْتِیْنِیْ بِعَرْشِهَا
Which of you will bring to me her throne[1]
Sayyidunā Āṣif b. Barkhiyā رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه , the minister of Sayyidunā Sulaymān عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم who knew al-Ism al-AꜤẓam said:
اَنَا اٰتِیْكَ بِهٖ قَبْلَ اَنْ یَّرْتَدَّ اِلَیْكَ طَرْفُكَؕ-
“I will bring it to you before you blink.”
As soon as Sayyidunā Sulaymān عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم blinked, the mighty throne of Bilqīs, despite being hundreds of miles away, was placed before him. This is a clear example of Ṭayy al-Arḍ, where the earth folds and makes it easy to travel long distances in a short amount of time.

His blessed name was ꜤAbd al-Raḥmān, his teknonym was Abū al-Faḍl, and his appellation was Jalāl al-Dīn.
