Chapter 105, 5 verses
Alam tara kayfa faAAala rabbuka biashabi alfeeli
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Have you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) 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].
Siehst du nicht, wie dein Herr mit den Leuten des Elefanten verfuhr?
Alam yajAAal kaydahum fee tadleelin
أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِي تَضْلِيلٍ
Did He not make their plot go astray?
Ließ Er nicht ihre List verlorengehen
Waarsala AAalayhim tayran ababeela
وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ
And He sent against them birds, in flocks,
und sandte gegen sie Vögel in aufeinanderfolgenden Schwärmen,
Tarmeehim bihijaratin min sijjeelin
تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ
Striking them with stones of Sijjil (baked clay).
die sie mit Steinen aus gebranntem Lehm bewarfen,
FajaAAalahum kaAAasfin makoolin
فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولٍ
And He made them like (an empty field of) stalks (of which the corn has been eaten up by cattle).
und sie so wie abgefressene Halme machte?
