بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ
Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the Companions of the Elephant?
Quran
سورة الفيلThe Elephant • 5 ayat • MakkiyahTranslated by Abdullah Yusuf Ali
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ
Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the Companions of the Elephant?
أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِي تَضْلِيلٍ
Did He not make their treacherous plan go astray?
وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ
And He sent against them Flights of Birds,
تَرْمِيهِمْ بِحِجَارَةٍ مِنْ سِجِّيلٍ
Striking them with stones of baked clay.
فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَأْكُولٍ
Then did He make them like an empty field of stalks and straw, (of which the corn) has been eaten up.
