أَلَمۡ تَرَ كَيۡفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصۡحَٰبِ ٱلۡفِيلِ ١

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

أَلَمۡ يَجۡعَلۡ كَيۡدَهُمۡ فِي تَضۡلِيلٖ ٢

Did He not make their plan into misguidance?

وَأَرۡسَلَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ طَيۡرًا أَبَابِيلَ ٣

And He sent against them birds in flocks,

تَرۡمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٖ مِّن سِجِّيلٖ ٤

Striking them with stones of hard clay,

فَجَعَلَهُمۡ كَعَصۡفٖ مَّأۡكُولِۭ ٥

And He made them like eaten straw.
