قَالَ مَا مَكَّنِّي فِيهِ رَبِّي خَيْرٌHe said:"That in which my Lord had established me is better (than your tribute).meaning, the power and authority that Allah has given me is better for me than what you have collected.This is like when Suleiman (Solomon), peace be upon him, said:أَتُمِدُّونَنِ بِمَالٍ فَمَأ ءَاتَـنِى اللَّهُ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّأ ءَاتَـكُمْWill you help me in wealth What Allah has given me is better than that which He has given you! (27:36)Similarly, Dhul-Qarnayn said:`What I have is better than what you want to give me, but help me with strength,� i.e., with your labor and construction equipment,فَأَعِينُونِي بِقُوَّةٍSo help me with strength,أَجْعَلْ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُمْ رَدْمًا
