क़ुरआन बयान करता है कि सुलेमान अलैहिस्सलाम ने अल्लाह से मग़फ़िरत और एक अनोखी बादशाहत माँगी। इसके तुरंत बाद अल्लाह ने हवा को उनके लिए वश में कर दिया, जो उनके हुक्म से जहाँ वे चाहते चलती थी। क़ुरआन अलग संदर्भों में इस हवा को नरम और आज्ञाकारी भी तथा तेज़ और शक्तिशाली भी बताता है, और कहता है कि उसका सुबह का सफ़र एक महीने तथा शाम का सफ़र एक और महीने की दूरी के बराबर था।
सूरह साद में हवा के बारे में कहा गया है कि वह सुलेमान के हुक्म से नरमी के साथ जहाँ वे चाहते चलती थी। इसमें आज्ञापालन और आसानी का अर्थ सामने आता है। हवा स्वयं अल्लाह की बनाई हुई चीज़ है जिसे उसने अपने नबी के लिए अधीन कर दिया। पुराने मुफ़स्सिर “रुख़ा” को नरम, आरामदेह और आज्ञाकारी चाल के अर्थ में समझाते हैं।
सूरह अल-अंबिया इसी हवा की दूसरी अवस्था दिखाती है। वहाँ उसे तेज़ और शक्तिशाली हवा कहा गया है जो सुलेमान के हुक्म से उस धरती की ओर चलती थी जिसे अल्लाह ने बरकत दी थी। इसलिए क़ुरआन हवा को हमेशा एक ही तीव्रता में बंद नहीं करता। एक जगह नरमी और आज्ञापालन है, दूसरी जगह शक्ति। पुरानी तफ़्सीर दोनों को इस तरह मिलाती है कि हवा पूरी तरह अधीन थी और आवश्यकता के अनुसार तेज़ या नरम हो सकती थी।
फिर सूरह सबा इस मौजज़े की असाधारण दूरी बताती है। हवा का सुबह का रास्ता एक महीने के सामान्य सफ़र के बराबर और शाम का रास्ता भी एक महीने के बराबर था। पुराने विद्वान इसे कभी एक दिन में दो महीने के सामान्य सफ़र जितनी दूरी तय होने के रूप में समझाते हैं। क़ुरआन आधुनिक गति, ऊँचाई, निश्चित नक़्शा या तकनीकी तरीका नहीं बताता, और कहानी को इन गणनाओं की आवश्यकता नहीं है।
क़ुरआनी संदर्भ एक महत्वपूर्ण सीमा भी बचाता है। सुलेमान को जिन्नों की सेवा और दूसरी असाधारण नेमतें भी उनके रब की अनुमति से मिलीं। बार-बार अल्लाह की अनुमति और अधीन करने का उल्लेख बताता है कि यह स्वतंत्र अलौकिक शक्ति नहीं थी। हर असाधारण चीज़ अल्लाह की देन थी।
सहीह बुख़ारी और सहीह मुस्लिम में नबी मुहम्मद ने सुलेमान की इसी अनोखी बादशाहत वाली दुआ को याद किया। इन रिवायतों में हवा के सफ़र की यांत्रिक बातें नहीं हैं, लेकिन वे विशेष दुआ के संदर्भ को मज़बूती से स्थापित करती हैं।
इसलिए सबसे मज़बूत कहानी साफ़ है: सुलेमान मग़फ़िरत और अनोखी बादशाहत माँगते हैं, अल्लाह दुआ स्वीकार करता है, हवा उनके हुक्म के अधीन होती है, कभी नरम और कभी शक्तिशाली चलती है और सामान्य सफ़र की सीमा से बहुत अधिक दूरी तय करती है। यह उड़ते कालीन की कहानी नहीं, बल्कि स्वीकार हुई दुआ और अल्लाह की दी हुई हुकूमत की निशानी है।
निष्कर्ष
यह घटना सावधानी के साथ मध्यम विश्वसनीयता वाले पैग़ंबरी चमत्कार के वर्ग में प्रकाशित की जा सकती है। इसका स्थापित केंद्र अल्लाह द्वारा हवा को सुलेमान अलैहिस्सलाम के लिए असाधारण रूप से वश में करना है—वह उनके हुक्म की आज्ञाकारी, अलग-अलग शक्ति वाली और असाधारण दूरी तय करने वाली थी—जबकि अनोखी बादशाहत की उनकी क़ुबूल हुई दुआ एक महत्वपूर्ण द्वितीय संदर्भ है।
