The questioner : I ask the honorable Shaykh to recount the story of our master Sulayman (peace be upon him) with the Queen of Saba, the jinn, and the hoopoe, because I always read this in the Qur'an and I am missing some details about this story?
The Shaykh : This story is mentioned by Allah the Exalted in length and detail in Surat al-Naml. Many readers of the Noble Qur'an know it simply by reading it. If anything in it is unclear to someone, he should refer to the exegeses, such as the Tafsir of Ibn Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) or other reliable books of tafsir. I direct the listener, indeed I direct the questioner, to "Tafsir Ibn Kathir", so let him refer to it. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah bless you, O honorable Shaykh, and may He magnify your reward.
