[Machine] "The owners of the elephant approached Mecca, and when they reached it, Abdul Muttalib greeted them and said to their king, 'Why have you come to us? What do you need, O our Lord? Shall we bring you anything you desire?' The king replied, 'I have been informed about this House that no one can enter except those who believe. So I have come to frighten its people.' Abdul Muttalib said, 'We will bring you whatever you desire, so go back.' But he refused to leave until he entered. He started to walk towards it, and Abdul Muttalib climbed a mountain and said, 'I do not witness the destruction of this House and its people.' Then he said, 'O Allah! Indeed, for every god there is a permissible act. So prevent their permissible acts from overpowering them, O Allah, forever. O Allah, if you do this, then command what seems good to you.' Then a cloud came from the direction of the sea, and it covered them until birds carrying stones came and pelted them. As Allah Almighty has said, 'It flung at them stones of baked clay.' (Surah Al-Fil, 4) The elephant was then turned into chewed stubble.'" (Surah Al-Fil, 5)  

الحاكم:٣٩٧٤أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنْبَأَ جَرِيرٌ عَنْ قَابُوسَ بْنِ أَبِي ظَبْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

أَقْبَلَ أَصْحَابُ الْفِيلِ حَتَّى إِذَا دَنَوْا مِنْ مَكَّةَ اسْتَقْبَلَهُمْ عَبْدُ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَقَالَ لِمَلِكِهِمْ مَا جَاءَ بِكَ إِلَيْنَا مَا عَنَاكَ يَا رَبَّنَا أَلَا بَعَثْتَ فَنَأْتِيكَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَرَدْتَ؟ فَقَالَ أُخْبِرْتُ بِهَذَا الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي لَا يَدْخُلُهُ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا آمَنَ فَجِئْتُ أُخِيفُ أَهْلَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّا نَأْتِيكَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ تُرِيدُ فَارْجِعْ فَأَبَى إِلَّا أَنْ يَدْخُلَهُ وَانْطَلَقَ يَسِيرُ نَحْوَهُ وَتَخَلَّفَ عَبْدُ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَقَامَ عَلَى جَبَلٍ فَقَالَ لَا أَشْهَدُ مَهْلِكَ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ وَأَهْلِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ [البحر الكامل] اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ إِلَهٍ حَلَالًا فَامْنَعْ حَلَالَكْ لَا يَغْلِبَنَّ مُحَالُهُمْ أَبَدًا مِحَالَكْ اللَّهُمَّ فَإِنْ فَعَلْتَ فَأْمُرْ مَا بَدَا لَكْ فَأَقْبَلَتْ مِثْلُ السَّحَابَةِ مِنْ نَحْوِ الْبَحْرِ حَتَّى أَظَلَّتْهُمْ طَيْرٌ أَبَابِيلُ الَّتِي قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {تَرْمِيهِمْ بِحِجَارَةٍ مِنْ سِجِّيلٍ} [الفيل 4] قَالَ فَجَعَلَ الْفِيلُ يَعُجُّ عَجًّا {فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَأْكُولٍ} [الفيل 5]
