This is a summary of the text:
The text is a narration of the story of Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, based on the Quranic chapter 27, verses 16-44. It tells how Solomon, a prophet and king who had power over jinn, humans and birds, received a message from a hoopoe bird about the Queen of Sheba, who ruled over a wealthy kingdom and worshiped the sun. Solomon sent her a letter inviting her to submit to God, and she consulted with her chiefs before sending him a gift. Solomon rejected the gift and asked for her throne to be brought to him by his jinn. When she arrived, he tested her by making her think that his palace floor was water. She realized her mistake and admitted that she had been wrong to worship other than God. She then submitted to God along with Solomon.
