The benefits of the saying of Allah the Exalted: << وحشر لسليمان جنوده من الجن والإنس و الطير فهم يوزعون >

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

⁽²³⁾ Indeed, I found [there] a woman ruling them, and she has been given of all things, and she has a great throne. ⁽²⁴⁾ I found her and her people prostrating to the sun instead of Allah, and Satan has made their deeds pleasing to them and averted them from [His] way, so they are not guided, ⁽²⁵⁾ [And] so they do not prostrate to Allah, who brings forth what is hidden within the heavens and the earth and knows what you conceal and what you declare - ⁽²⁶⁾ Allah - there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Great Throne."

إِنِّي وَجَدتُّ امْرَأَةً تَمْلِكُهُمْ وَأُوتِيَتْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَلَهَا عَرْشٌ عَظِيمٌ * وَجَدْتُهَا وَقَوْمَهَا يَسْجُدُونَ لِلشَّمْسِ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ أَعْمَالَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِيلِ فَهُمْ لا يَهْتَدُونَ * أَلَّا يَسْجُدُوا لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُخْرِجُ الْخَبْءَ فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُخْفُونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ * اللَّهُ لا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ

[Surah al-Naml: 26].

The Shaykh : I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed. We still have to derive the benefits, yes.
First, from the saying of Allah the Exalted:

And gathered for Solomon were his soldiers of the jinn and men and birds, and they were [marching] in rows.

وَحُشِرَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ جُنُودُهُ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالإِنْسِ وَالطَّيْرِ فَهُمْ يُوزَعُونَ

[Surah al-Naml: 17], it is derived from this noble verse that Sulayman (peace be upon him) organized his troops and arranged them such that they are gathered when gathering is required and dispersed when dispersal is required, as He said:

And gathered for Solomon were his soldiers

وَحُشِرَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ جُنُودُهُ

[Surah al-Naml: 17].
And in the verse is evidence that the troops which Sulayman arranges are of three types: the jinn, the humans, and the birds.
As for the human, his accompanying them is apparent, because he is one of them. As for the jinn, it is for their utilization in matters that humans are not capable of. As for the birds, some scholars said: He accompanies them to provide shade for him; they become a canopy above his head from the sun. This may be the intended purpose, and it may also be among the intended purposes of accompanying the birds that they bring him news from far away, as in the story of the hoopoe.
And in it also, in His saying:

And they were being restrained

فَهُمْ يُوزَعُونَ

[Surah al-Naml: 17], is evidence of the perfection of organization as well, because what does al-waz' mean? Gathering...

And [mention, O Muhammad], the Day when the enemies of Allah will be gathered to the Fire while they are [driven] assembled in rows,

وَيَوْمَ يُحْشَرُ أَعْدَاءُ اللَّهِ إِلَى النَّارِ فَهُمْ يُوزَعُونَ

[Surah Fussilat: 19] they are gathered to it and driven to it, and this is also evidence of the perfection of its organization.
And in it is evidence for the use of the rear guard; the rear guard in the troops and army is that they have a driver just as they have a leader and guide, so they also have a driver, yes. And it was from the guidance of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) that he would be in the rear guard, at the back of the people, even though he (peace and blessings be upon him) was their chief and leader, but he would lag behind in order to rescue whoever fell behind, yes. And to assist whoever needs it, and for the great benefit that is achieved by this.
