قَالَ فَانْصَرَفَ عَنْهُ عَبْدُ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَ جَاءُوا بِالْفِيلِ لِيَدْخُلَ الْحَرَمَ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَى طَرَفِ الْحَرَمِ امْتَنَعَ مِنَ الدُّخُولِ فَضَرَبُوهُ فَامْتَنَعَ فَأَدَارُوا بِهِ نَوَاحِيَ الْحَرَمِ كُلَّهَا كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يَمْتَنِعُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلَمْ يَدْخُلْ He -asws said: ‘So Abdul Muttalib -asws left from it and they came over with the elephants in order to enter the Sanctuary. When they ended up to the side of the Sanctuary, it obstructed from their entering.
They struck it, but it still obstructed. They circled with it around the Sanctuary, all of it. During each of that it obstructed against them and it did not enter.
In the beak (of each bird) was a stone like a bean or so. So, it hovered on top of the man, then released it upon his head. So it came out from his behind, to the extent that there did not remain anyone from them except for one man who fled. Then, he went on to narrate to the people with what he saw, when a bird from them emerged, when he raised his head and said, ‘This is the bird from it’, and the bird came over until it hovered on top of his head, then cast it upon him.
So, it came out from his behind, and he died’. [12] [1] (ثواب الأعمال: 126.) [2] Tafseer Al Burhan – H 11904 [3] خواص القرآن: 62 «مخطوط».
