Musannaf Ibn Abi Shayba 27:214

Abu Mu’awiyah narrated to us, he said: Al-A’mash narrated to us, from Al-Minhal, from Sa’id ibn Jubayr, from Ibn Abbas, who said: Six hundred thousand chairs would be placed for Dawud, peace be upon him. Then the nobles of mankind would come and sit on the right side, and the nobles of the jinn would come and sit on the left side. Then he would call the birds, and they would shade them. Then he would call the wind, and it would carry them, so he would travel in a single morning the distance of a month’s journey. While he was traveling one day in a desert land, he needed water, so he called the hoopoe. It came and pecked the ground, and found the location of the water. Then the devils would come to that water and peel it [the earth] as a hide is peeled, and they would extract the water from it. Nafi’ ibn al-Azraq said to him: "Stop, O you who stop! Have you considered your statement that the hoopoe comes and pecks the ground and finds the location of the water? How does it see this, yet it does not see the trap that comes to it until it falls upon its neck?" Ibn Abbas said: "Woe to you! Indeed, destiny intervenes before sight."
