Introduction

The Surah derives its name from the word ashab al fil in the very first verse.

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

١

Did He not make their plan into misguidance?

٢

And He sent against them birds in flocks,

٣

Striking them with stones of hard clay,

٤

And He made them like eaten straw.
