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