Abstract
One of the arguments of Wahhabites against requesting and asking the Godly Men for our needs is the fact that answering these requests is out of human ability, that is to say, these are the kind of issues that only God has the ability to do (things that just God can do). Requesting from Godly Men is not permissible and is considered polytheism.  Al-arusi is one of the Wahhabites scholars that has included the given verse in his book and has interpreted it differently from the mainstream of Sunni interpreters. This verse contradicts Wahhabites viewpoint. Based on this verse, although bringing a throne from a distant land in a few seconds is out of the power of an ordinary human, Prophet Solomon asks for Belqays’s throne. In the present writing the verse has been elaborated on and the viewpoints of Wahhabites and doubts casted by Al-arusi regarding this issue has been reviewed. The claim of Wahhabites about the verse is not supported with solid arguments.
