Tafheem-ul-Quran (En) - Saad : 36
فَسَخَّرْنَا لَهُ الرِّیْحَ تَجْرِیْ بِاَمْرِهٖ رُخَآءً حَیْثُ اَصَابَۙ
So, We subdued to him the wind, which blew gently at his bidding wherever he directed it; 37
37 For explanation, see Surah Al-Anbiya`: 81 and E.N. 74 thereof. However, there is one thing which requires further explanation here. In Surah Al Anbiya`where mention has been made of subjecting the wind for the Prophet Solomon, it has been described as `the strongly blowing wind, but here "which blew gently at his bidding" . This means that the wind in itself was strong and violent as is needed for moving the sailing-ships but it had been made gentle for the Prophet Solomon in the sense that it blew whither-so-ever he wanted it to blow for his commercial fleets.
