The benefits of the saying of Allah the Exalted: ((So when We decreed his death, nothing indicated to them his death except a creature of the earth that ate his staff. So when he fell, the jinn realized that if they had known the unseen, they would not have remained in the humiliating punishment))

to the end. This is the beginning of mentioning the benefits.
Among the benefits of this verse: First, that death is the end of every living being, even if his kingdom is great. Indeed, Sulayman was among the greatest of kings in terms of kingdom, and yet his kingdom did not save him from death.
And among them: that all matters are with Allah, as He said: .
And among them: that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) is described with greatness, majesty, and perfection, because here is not for plurality but for magnification. Because the word "I" (ana), I hope, my brothers, indicates either plurality or magnification. Plurality is impossible here, so it is established that it is for magnification.
And among them: that a humble thing may do a great, major thing. This is taken from His saying: . This is a matter in which the Sunnah of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has occurred, that a thing may be [humble], but a great matter results from it. We now do not know how to bury our dead except by the indication of the crow, is that not so? Also, all the magnificent, beautiful architectural structures were known from the work of bees. Also, all the machines that people create now, you find them comparing them to the creations of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), such as airplanes and others. By this, we know that humble things may be of great benefit to man, and serious matters result from them.
And among them: that attributing a thing to its known cause is permissible, as He said: . So he attributed the indication to the creature of the earth, even though did the creature eat the staff in order to indicate to the jinn the death of Sulayman? No, but it was a cause. So attributing a thing to its known cause, whether by Shari'ah or by sense, is permissible. Yes, even if the Name of Majesty is not mentioned in it. For example, if I said: "If not for so-and-so, I would have perished," and it is true that so-and-so is the one who saved you, this is permissible if you do not believe that this cause is the only doer. And what is prohibited is attributing a thing to a cause along with Allah, connected by the conjunction "and," or attributing a thing to a cause whose causality is not known, neither from the Shari'ah nor from sense, because this is from the category of illusions and imaginations.
And among the benefits of the verse: caution, or warning, from the creature of the earth. Is that not so? Yes, as long as it eats wood and eats these things, beware of it. And how many a person has the creature of the earth ruined his valuable library, which is worth a lot. So be careful, let the creature of the earth not eat your books. Good.
And among the benefits of the noble verse: attributing an action, or attributing a thing, to one who did not do it by choice, as He said: . So falling may be attributed to the doer by choice, and it may be attributed to the doer without choice. So you say: "The water fell," and you say: "He fell dead." And Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said: [Al-Isra: 109]. This is without choice.
And among the benefits of the noble verse: that the jinn do not know the unseen, and the indication of that is clear: .
And among them: that tangible, occurring matters are demonstrative proofs. And the meaning of this benefit is...
