Allah made their evil plot to destroy it in vain; they did not achieve what they desired in trying to turn the people away from the Ka‘bah. They did not succeed in the slightest.
وَأَرۡسَلَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ طَيۡرًا أَبَابِيلَ
Allah sent birds upon them, who came to them in flocks upon flocks.
تَرۡمِيهِم بِحِجَارَةٖ مِّن سِجِّيلٖ
They pelted them with stones of clay.
فَجَعَلَهُمۡ كَعَصۡفٖ مَّأۡكُولِۭ
So Allah made them like the leaves of crops that have been eaten and trampled upon by livestock.
