مصحف الثريا

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْفِيلِ ۝١

ART THOU NOT aware of how thy Sustainer dealt with the Army of the Elephant?

أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍۢ ۝٢

Did He not utterly confound their artful planning?

وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ ۝۳

Thus, He let loose upon them great swarms of flying creatures

تَرْمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٍۢ مِّن سِجِّيلٍۢ ۝٤

which smote them with stone-hard blows of chastisement pre-ordained,

فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍۢ مَّأْكُولٍۭ ۝٥

and caused them to become like a field of grain that has been eaten down to stubble
