(Muhammad Assad)
27:40 Answered he who was illumined by revelation: [Nay,] as for me - I shall bring it to thee ere the twinkling of thy eye ceases! And when he saw it truly before him, he exclaimed: This is [an outcome] of my Sustainers bounty, to test me as to whether I am grateful or ungrateful! However, he who is grateful [to God] is but grateful for his own good; and he who is ungrateful [should know that], verily, my Sustainer is self-sufficient, most generous in giving!27:40

(Yousaf Ali)
27:40 Said one who had knowledge of the Book: "I will bring it to thee within the twinkling of an eye!" Then when (Solomon) saw it placed firmly before him, he said: "This is by the Grace of my Lord!- to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! and if any is grateful, truly his gratitude is (a gain) for his own soul; but if any is ungrateful, truly my Lord is Free of all Needs, Supreme in Honour !"27:40
