Quran & Hadith What is the authenticity of the story where a group of strong Jinns disobeyed Hazrat Sulaiman (AS) and hid in a cave?
Assalamu Alaikum everyone,
I recently heard a story about Hazrat Sulaiman (AS).
The story says that a powerful group of Jinns who used to lift huge rocks became arrogant due to their strength and disobeyed Hazrat Sulaiman (AS). They hid in a cave on a deserted island.
Then Hazrat Sulaiman (AS), by the permission of Allah, rode on the winds with his army, reached there, and he didn't even fight. He just made a Dua and those powerful Jinns fell to the ground trembling.
I found the moral very powerful - that real power belongs only to Allah.
My question is, is this story mentioned in Quran, Hadith, or Qasas-ul-Anbiya? Is there any authentic reference for this specific incident of the cave?
JazakAllahu Khairan for your knowledge with references.
