105Al-Fil

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ

Hast thou not seen how thy Lord did with the Men of the Elephant?

أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِي تَضْلِيلٍ

Did He not make their guile to go astray?

وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ

And He loosed upon them birds in flights,

تَرْمِيهِمْ بِحِجَارَةٍ مِنْ سِجِّيلٍ

hurling against them stones of baked clay

فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَأْكُولٍ

and He made them like green blades devoured.
