It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the hoopoe used to guide Sayyiduna Sulayman (peace be upon him) (in the search for water). The narrator says: I said: How can that be, when a trap is set for the hoopoe and dust is thrown over it (so why does it not see that trap)? He said (in a stern tone): When the decree (destiny) comes, sight departs (that is, a person becomes blind).
