الفيل

أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَـٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ

alam tara kayfa faʿala rabbuka bi-aṣḥābi l-fīli

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

أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍۢ

alam yajʿal kaydahum fī taḍlīlin

Did He not make their plan into misguidance?

وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ

wa-arsala ʿalayhim ṭayran abābīla

And He sent against them birds in flocks,

تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍۢ مِّن سِجِّيلٍۢ

tarmīhim biḥijāratin min sijjīlin

Striking them with stones of hard clay,

فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍۢ مَّأْكُولٍۭ

fajaʿalahum kaʿaṣfin makūlin

And He made them like eaten straw.
