Chapter 105, 5 verses
Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the Companions of the Elephant?
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ
Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with the possessors of the elephant?
Have you not considered, [O Muhammad], how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant?
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ
Did He not make their treacherous plan go astray?
أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِي تَضْلِيلٍ
Did He not cause their war to end in confusion,
Did He not make their plan into misguidance?
أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍ
And He sent against them Flights of Birds,
وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ
And send down (to prey) upon them birds in flocks,
And He sent against them birds in flocks,
وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ
Striking them with stones of baked clay.
تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ
Casting against them stones of baked clay,
Striking them with stones of hard clay,
تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍ مِّن سِجِّيلٍ
Then did He make them like an empty field of stalks and straw, (of which the corn) has been eaten up.
فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولٍ
So He rendered them like straw eaten up?
And He made them like eaten straw.
فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولٍۭ
