أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ

Have you not considered, [O Muḥammad], how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant?

أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍۢ

Did He not make their plan into misguidance?

وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ

And He sent against them birds in flocks,

تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍۢ مِّن سِجِّيلٍۢ

Striking them with stones of hard clay,

فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍۢ مَّأْكُولٍۭ

And He made them like eaten straw.
