بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ1
Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the Companions of the Elephant?
أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍۢ2
Did He not make their treacherous plan go astray?
وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ3
And He sent against them Flights of Birds,
تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍۢ مِّن سِجِّيلٍۢ4
Striking them with stones of baked clay.
فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍۢ مَّأْكُولٍۭ5
Then did He make them like an empty field of stalks and straw, (of which the corn) has been eaten up.
