The Holy Quran 21:79 — Surah Al-Anbya

Arabic text

فَفَهَّمْنَـٰهَا سُلَيْمَـٰنَ ۚ وَكُلًّا ءَاتَيْنَا حُكْمًا وَعِلْمًا ۚ وَسَخَّرْنَا مَعَ دَاوُۥدَ ٱلْجِبَالَ يُسَبِّحْنَ وَٱلطَّيْرَ ۚ وَكُنَّا فَـٰعِلِينَ

Translation

We explained the decision (as mentioned above) to Sulaymaan and granted wisdom (understanding) and knowledge (keen sense of judgement) to both of them. We placed the mountains and birds at Dawood's service and they all engaged in Allaah's glorification (with him). We are the ones Who can do (Who can make such things possible).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Almighty Allah had granted both of them rule, the ability to judge, and knowledge and wisdom. Even in childhood Sulayman ﵇ would say such extraordinarily wise things that those who heard him were astonished.
