{ It was said to her [the Queen of Sheba]: Enter the pavilion. But when she saw it, she took it to be a deep dark pool, and uncovered her shins. He [Sulaiman] said: Indeed it is a well-built and smooth pavilion, of glass. She said: My Lord, truly I have wronged myself, but I will surrender along with Sulaiman to Allah, Lord of the worlds } Al-naml 44

From Abdullah ibn Shaddad, who said: { But when she saw it, she took it to be a dark pool, and uncovered her shins } ; she was a hairy woman. Sulaiman said: What can make this go away? They said: Depilatory cream. And so depilatory cream [nurah] came about on that day.
