The first <strong>one</strong> of them wasthe w<strong>is</strong>e Solomon (PBUH), whom “they perceived that thew<strong>is</strong>dom of God was in him.” (Kings (1) 3/28).Whoever reads the passage thoughtfully, will find no difficulty inunderstanding which kind of w<strong>is</strong>dom it was.
