أَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡفِيلِ
١
Have you
(O Muhammad ﷺ) not seen how your Lord dealt with the Owners of the Elephant?
[The elephant army which came from Yemen under the command of Abrahah Al-Ashram intending to destroy the Ka'bah at Makkah].
(1)
أَلَمۡ يَجۡعَلۡ كَيۡدَهُمۡ فِي تَضۡلِيلٖ
٢
Did He not make their plot go astray?
(2)
وَأَرۡسَلَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ طَيۡرًا أَبَابِيلَ
٣
And sent against them birds, in flocks,
(3)
تَرۡمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٖ مِّن سِجِّيلٖ
٤
Striking them with stones of Sijjil.
(4)
فَجَعَلَهُمۡ كَعَصۡفٖ مَّأۡكُولِۭ
٥
And made them like an empty field of stalks
(of which the corn has been eaten up by cattle).
