The Holy Qur'an mentions this event as under:
sᴜʀᴀʜ ᴀʟ-ғɪʟ [Quran.105]
"Have you not seen how Allah dealt with the companions of the Elephant?
Did He not foil their treacherous plan?
And He sent against them Flights of Birds which pelted them with baked clay, so that they became like plants cropped by cattle?"
Abraha was the Abyssinian governor or viceroy. Intoxicated
with power and fired by religious fanaticism, he led a big expedition
against Mak'kah, intending to destroy the Ka'ba. He had elephants in his train. But his sacrilegious intentions were defeated by a miracle. No defence was offered by the custodians of the Ka'aba as the army
was too strong for them, but it was believed that a shower of stones, thrown by flocks of birds, destroyed the invading army almost to a man. The stones produced sores and pustules on the skin, which spread like a pestilence.
