105: The Elephant
 
1

Seest thou not how thy Lord dealt with the Companions of the Elephant?

 
2

Did He not make their treacherous plan go astray?

 
3

And He sent against them Flights of Birds,

 
4

Striking them with stones of baked clay.

 
5

Then did He make them like an empty field of stalks and straw, (of which the corn) has been eaten up.
