When We executed Our decree of death on Solomon, nothing indicated to the jinn that he was dead except a worm eating away his staff. So when Solomon fell down, the jinn realised that had they known what lies in the realm beyond perception, they would not have continued to be in this humiliating chastisement.
われがかれ（スライマーン）に死の断を下した時も，かれらにその死を知らせたのは，一匹の地の虫がかれの杖を蝕ばんだことであった。それでかれが倒れると，ジンたちは（始めて）悟った。もしも幽玄界のことを知っていたならば，恥辱の懲罰に服している要もなかったのに。
