هُوَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ مِن دِيَارِهِمْ لِأَوَّلِ الْحَشْرِ مَا ظَنَنتُمْ أَن يَخْرُجُوا وَظَنُّوا أَنَّهُم مَّانِعَتُهُمْ حُصُونُهُم مِّنَ اللهِ فَأَتَاهُمُ اللهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَمْ يَحْتَسِبُوا وَقَذَفَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الرُّعْبَ يُخْرِبُونَ بُيُوتَهُم بِأَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَيْدِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَاعْتَبِرُوا يَا أُولِي الْأَبْصَارِ
“It is He Who drove the disbelievers among the People of the Book out of their dwellings for their first fate. You never thought that they would go out [in this manner]; and they also thought that their forts would protect them from the [punishment of] God. But God came upon them from where they did not even expect it. And He struck terror into their hearts. They were destroying their dwellings by their own hands and also by the hands of the Muslims. So learn from their example O you who have eyes!” (Quran 59:1-2)
