Allah the Exalted said: << قال نكروا لها عرشها ننظر أتهتدي أم تكون من الذين لايهتدون >

Then Sulayman said: "
He said, "Disguise for her her throne قَالَ نَكِّرُوا لَهَا عَرْشَهَا
[Surat al-Naml:41] meaning: alter it to a state that she will not recognize when she sees it."

And this alteration is achieved by changing the slightest of its attributes, or not? ... For example, if its legs are long, one can shorten the legs, and that would be an alteration. If the color of one of its ... for example, is red, one can make it yellow. That is to say: whether this alteration is in the parts, or in the color, or in the upholstery by changing the upholstery, it appears that this falls under the category of alteration.
He said, "Disguise for her her throne; we will see whether she will be guided [to truth] or will be of those who is not guided." نَكِّرُوا لَهَا عَرْشَهَا نَنظُرْ أَتَهْتَدِي أَمْ تَكُونُ مِنَ الَّذِينَ لا يَهْتَدُونَ
[Surat al-Naml:41]
The student: ...

The Shaykh : "Alter" is a command verb, and "We will see" is connected to it as the answer to the command.
"Alter" and "We will see": the word "Alter" was not directed to a specific person, which indicates that all his soldiers are in his obedience. Because if he had feared that any of the soldiers would rebel, he would have directed the address to a specific person in order to put him in an awkward position so that he would not be able to say no. And thus is the greatness of the ruler, when the ruler, for example, or the prince says: "Coffee, boy." All those present are startled, "Coffee, coffee," and they bring it quickly.
Disguise for her her throne نَكِّرُوا لَهَا عَرْشَهَا
[Surat al-Naml:41] We say: this is also an address of greatness. Therefore he said:
"That We may see whether she will be guided" نَنظُرْ أَتَهْتَدِي

And all of this is also among the methods of testing by which Sulayman tested this woman, just as he also tested her in what follows regarding the matter of the palace. As for the statement of the author and others that her leg is the leg of a donkey, this is from the fabricated Isra'iliyyat, so he presented it as he presented the rest of them.
The student: .... that she has leprosy and he wants to marry her.

The Shaykh : None of this is authentic ... Sulayman.
The student: He married her .....

The Shaykh : In any case, she is worthy of being married because she submitted to Islam and she was intelligent.
