هُوَ
الَّذِي
أَخْرَجَ
الَّذِينَ
كَفَرُوا
مِنْ
أَهْلِ
الْكِتَابِ
مِن
دِيَارِهِمْ
لِأَوَّلِ
الْحَشْرِ
مَا
ظَنَنتُمْ
أَن
يَخْرُجُوا
وَظَنُّوا
أَنَّهُم
مَّانِعَتُهُمْ
حُصُونُهُم
مِّنَ
اللَّهِ
فَأَتَاهُمُ
اللَّهُ
مِنْ
حَيْثُ
لَمْ
يَحْتَسِبُوا
وَقَذَفَ
فِي
قُلُوبِهِمُ
الرُّعْبَ
يُخْرِبُونَ
بُيُوتَهُم
بِأَيْدِيهِمْ
وَأَيْدِي
الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
فَاعْتَبِرُوا
يَاأُولِي
الْأَبْصَارِ

It is He who drove the disbelievers among the followers of the Bible out of their homes (in the Arabian Peninsula) as the first time exiles. You did not think that they would leave their homes and they thought that their fortresses would save them from God. The decree of God came upon them in a way that even they did not expect. He caused such terror to enter their hearts that they started to destroy their own homes by their own hands and by those of the believers. People of vision, learn from this a lesson.
