The Prophet Sulaiman (A.S) was the youngest son of the Prophet Dawud (A.S). He ruled for 30 years with wisdom and insight. His public works were largely carried out by jinns under his command. Sulaiman (A.S) died while sitting and overseeing the jinns, and his death was only discovered when his staff, eaten by termites, gave way and his body fell to the ground.

2. The Prophet Sulaiman (A.S) was the youngest son of the Prophet
Dawud (A.S). He was born at Jerusalem. The name of his mother
was Saba. Prophet Sulaiman (A.S) ruled for 30 years, and
his public work was largely carried out by the jinns. After the death
of Prophet Dawud (A.S), He ascended the throne of Judia on
account of his sagacity, power of judgement, right understanding
and spiritual insight. Like his life, his death was unusual; and Allah
devised it as a means to teach the people that the domain of the
world of the unseen including the future is known to Allah alone.
Thus, even the death of Sulaiman (A.S) served an important
purpose. He was sitting holding his staff, overseeing the jinns at
work. He died sitting in this position. For a long time, no one was
aware of his death, for he was seen sitting erect. The jinns
continued with their toil, thinking that the king was watching over
them. Days passed, and the king’s death became known only when
his supporting stick, eaten by termites gave way and the body fell
to the ground.

(Solomon) when they gave judgement
concerning the field, when people's sheep had

unto each of them We gave judgement and
knowledge." (21: 78, 79)
 "And before Sulaiman were marshalled his
hosts--of Jinns, and men and birds and they
were all in order and ranks." (21: 17)
 "And We verily gave knowledge to Dawud and
Sulaiman and they said: praise be to Allah Who has
preferred us above many of his believing
servants". (27: I5)
 They worked for him as he desired, making arches,
images, basins as large as reservoirs, and cooking
cauldrons fixed in their places: “Work you, sons of
David, with thanks!” But few of My servants are
grateful.Then, when We decreed Solomon’s death,
nothing showed them his death except a little
worm of the earth that kept slowly gnawing away
at his staff: So when he fell down, the jinns saw
plainly that if they had known the unseen, they
would not have tarried in the humiliating penalty
of their task.” [34:13-14]
