Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

How the Hoopoe came before Sulayman and told Him about Saba'Allah says:فَمَكَثَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ(But (the hoopoe) stayed not long,) meaning, he was absent for only a short time. Then he came and said to Sulayman:أَحَطتُ بِمَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِ(I have grasped which you have not grasped) meaning, `I have come to know something that you and your troops do not know.'وَجِئْتُكَ مِن سَبَإٍ بِنَبَإٍ يَقِينٍ(and I have come to you from Saba' with true news.) meaning, with true and certain news.
