أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحَابِ الْفِيلِ
Abdel Haleem
Do you [Prophet] not see how your Lord dealt with the army of the elephant
Abd al-Rahman al-Sa'di

أي: أما رأيت من قدرة الله وعظيم شأنه، ورحمته بعباده، وأدلة توحيده، وصدق رسوله محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم، ما فعله الله بأصحاب الفيل، الذين كادوا بيته الحرام وأرادوا إخرابه، فتجهزوا لأجل ذلك، واستصحبوا معهم الفيلة لهدمه، وجاءوا بجمع لا قبل للعرب به، من الحبشة واليمن، فلما انتهوا إلى قرب مكة، ولم يكن بالعرب مدافعة، وخرج أهل مكة من مكة خوفًا على أنفسهم منهم.
