In the Quran

فَفَهَّمْنَٰهَا سُلَيْمَٰنَ ۚ وَكُلًّا ءَاتَيْنَا حُكْمًۭا وَعِلْمًۭا ۚ وَسَخَّرْنَا مَعَ دَاوُۥدَ ٱلْجِبَالَ يُسَبِّحْنَ وَٱلطَّيْرَ ۚ وَكُنَّا فَٰعِلِينَ

تو ہم نے فیصلہ (کرنے کا طریق) سلیمان کو سمجھا دیا۔ اور ہم نے دونوں کو حکم (یعنی حکمت ونبوت) اور علم بخشا تھا۔ اور ہم نے پہاڑوں کو داؤد کا مسخر کردیا تھا کہ ان کے ساتھ تسبیح کرتے تھے اور جانوروں کو بھی (مسخر کردیا تھا اور ہم ہی ایسا) کرنے والے تھے

And We made Solomon to understand (the case); and unto each of them We gave judgment and knowledge. And we subdued the hills and the birds to hymn (His) praise along with David. We were the doers (thereof).
