Surah An Naml Tafseer
Tafseer of An-Naml : 35
Saheeh International
But indeed, I will send to them a gift and see with what [reply] the messengers will return."
Ibn Kathir
Tafseer 'Ibn Kathir' (EN)
But verily, I am going to send him a present, and see with what the messengers return.
meaning, `I will send him a gift befitting for one of his status, and will wait and see what his response will be. Perhaps he will accept that and leave us alone, or he will impose a tax which we can pay him every year, so that he will not fight us and wage war against us.'
Qatadah said:
"May Allah have mercy on her and be pleased with her -- how wise she was as a Muslim and (before that) as an idolator! She understood how gift-giving has a good effect on people."
Ibn Abbas and others said:
"She said to her people, if he accepts the gift, he is a king, so fight him; but if he does not accept it, he is a Prophet, so follow him.
