Saba’ (Arabic: سبأ, saba’; from the city called "Sheba") is the 34th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an with 54 verses (āyāt). It discusses the lives of Solomon and David, a story about the people of Sheba, challenges and warnings against the disbelievers as well as the promises related to the Day of Judgment.
Regarding the timing and contextual background of the asbāb al-nuzūl "circumstances of revelation", it is an earlier Meccan surah, which means it was revealed in Mecca instead of later in Medina.
