الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ
2. Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ

1. Have you not considered, [O Muhammad], how your Lord dealt with the companions of the elephant?
أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِي تَضْلِيلٍ
2. Did He not make their plan into misguidance?
وَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْرًا أَبَابِيلَ
3. And He sent against them birds in flocks,
تَرْمِيهِمْ بِحِجَارَةٍ مِنْ سِجِّيلٍ
4. Striking them with stones of hard clay,
فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَأْكُولٍ

فَلْيَعْبُدُوا رَبَّ هَٰذَا الْبَيْتِ

فَوَيْلٌ لِلْمُصَلِّينَ
4. So woe to those who pray
