As per the rule

Hi,

As per the rule, 'the', 'a' and 'an' should not be used before abstract nouns.

1) He has got an idea.

2) He has the wisdom of King Solomon.

Are they correct ones?

Thanks

Yes, they are correct. The 'rule' is not true at all-- many abstract nouns are countable, and many non-count nouns are modifiable and thereby become countable.
