Sulaiman said: I will most certainly have relations with 100 women tonight, all bearing a knight
إن سليمان قال لأطوفن الليلة على مئة امرأة تحمل كل منها فارسا
Sulaiman said: “I will most certainly have relations with 100 women tonight, all bearing a knight.”
Narrated by al Bukhari.
This displays Sayyidina Sulaiman’s ‘alayh al Salam love for jihad in the Path of Allah. It also proves the strength and potency of the Messengers of Allah.
It is disrespectful to object to a statement of Rasulullah salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam which has been authentically reported via a sahih isnad.
This hadith has been reported by the Shia scholars and exegeses and they have used it as proof. For example, al Fayd al Kashani reported it in Tafsir al Safi[1].
The Shia despise this hadith in a time when we find ‘intellectuals’ among them concocting an abundance of fairy tales, like their belief that Sayyidina ‘Ali radiya Llahu ‘anhu created an elephant and flew on its back.
