    📖 Commentary of Surah Sad – Verse 32

    "He said: 'I have the love for these good horses endearing [67] me (and distracting) in the remembrance of my Lord' [68]. Then he ordered to drive them until they were hidden from his sight [69], behind the veil."

    ✅ [67] Love for the Means of Worship

    Hazrat Sulaiman (peace be upon him) expressed his fondness for the noble horses, as they were used for Jihad, a form of worship. Thus, this love was not materialistic but rather rooted in devotion and commitment to Allah’s cause.

    ✅ [68] Worship-Oriented Attachment

    Some commentators have misunderstood this love as a distraction from Salah, but such a notion is inconsistent with the status of Prophethood. Sulaiman’s affection for the horses was not a neglect of remembrance, but an extension of it—since preparing for battle in Allah’s path is itself worship.

    ✅ [69] The Horses Disappearing from Sight

    The phrase "hidden from sight" refers to the horses galloping away swiftly, not the setting sun. He had ordered them to run at full speed, and their rapid movement caused them to vanish beyond his view, showcasing their strength and training.

    Please refer to Surah Sad ayat 30 which provides the complete commentary from verse 30 through 33.

    (38:32) he said: “Lo! I have come to love this wealth[34] on account of the remembrance of my Lord.” And when the horses disappeared,

    Ala-Maududi

    (38:32) he said: “Lo! I have come to love this wealth[34] on account of the remembrance of my Lord.” And when the horses disappeared,

    34. The Arabic word khair in the text is used for abundance of wealth as well as for horses metaphorically. As the Prophet Solomon (peace be upon him) had kept these horses for fighting in the way of Allah, he called them khair.

    (32) And he said, "Indeed, I gave preference to the love of good [things] over the remembrance of my Lord until it [i.e., the sun] disappeared into the curtain [of darkness]."
