﴿ قَالَتْ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلَؤُا۟ إِنِّىٓ أُلْقِىَ إِلَىَّ كِتَٰبٌۭ كَرِيمٌ ﴾

“[When the Queen had read Solomon’s letter,] she said: “O you nobles! A truly distinguished letter has been conveyed unto me.”

Then she said to the noblemen of her people ‘O members of the council lo! read yā ayyuhā’l-mala’u innī pronouncing in the last two words both hamzas; or by not pronouncing the second one and changing it into a wāw with kasra vowelling a noble a sealed letter has been delivered to me.
