This post is part 7 of the series about Muslim Fathers mentioned in the Quran. Translation is by T. B. Irving (http://isgkc.org/translat.htm)

(Sad) 38:30-33
We bestowed Solomon on David. How favored was such a servant; he was so attentive! When the thoroughbreds were led out to prance before him in the evening, he said: "I have loved good things instead of remembering God," until the [sun] was concealed behind the veil [of night again]. Bring them back to me!" [he said], and he started to stroke their legs and necks.
