What befell the elephant's driver and its keeper
[ مَا أَصَابَ قَائِدَ الْفِيلِ وَسَائِسَهُ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ ابْنَةَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ قَالَتْ: لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ قَائِدَ الْفِيلِ وَسَائِسَهُ بِمَكَّةَ أَعْمَيَيْنِ مُقْعَدَيْنِ يَسْتَطْعِمَانِ النَّاسَ
