{ 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 ‘Ikrama and Abu Salih, who said: When Sulaiman married Bilqis, she said to him: Never has a razor ever touched me. Sulaiman said to the devils: See about something that can remove hair. They said: Depilatory cream [nurah]. And so he was the first to prepare nurah.
