Surah Saba — Ayah 13 (34:13)

English translation (Saheeh International)

They made for him what he willed of elevated chambers,¹ statues,² bowls like reservoirs, and stationary kettles. [We said], "Work, O family of David, in gratitude." And few of My servants are grateful.

1. Described by commentators as palaces, dwellings, or places of prayer.
2. Which were not prohibited until the time of Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ).

Brief commentary

These Jinn constructed for him whatever he wanted from places of worship, palaces, lofty structures. And I said to them: O the family of David! Be grateful for the blessings I have bestowed upon you, because very few of My servants are grateful to Me for the blessings I grant them.
