آية: 259

أَوۡ كَٱلَّذِي مَرَّ عَلَىٰ قَرۡيَةٖ وَهِيَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَىٰ عُرُوشِهَا قَالَ أَنَّىٰ يُحۡيِۦ هَٰذِهِ ٱللَّهُ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَاۖ فَأَمَاتَهُ ٱللَّهُ مِاْئَةَ عَامٖ ثُمَّ بَعَثَهُۥۖ قَالَ كَمۡ لَبِثۡتَۖ قَالَ لَبِثۡتُ يَوۡمًا أَوۡ بَعۡضَ يَوۡمٖۖ قَالَ بَل لَّبِثۡتَ مِاْئَةَ عَامٖ فَٱنظُرۡ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِكَ وَشَرَابِكَ لَمۡ يَتَسَنَّهۡۖ وَٱنظُرۡ إِلَىٰ حِمَارِكَ وَلِنَجۡعَلَكَ ءَايَةٗ لِّلنَّاسِۖ وَٱنظُرۡ إِلَى ٱلۡعِظَامِ كَيۡفَ نُنشِزُهَا ثُمَّ نَكۡسُوهَا لَحۡمٗاۚ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُۥ قَالَ أَعۡلَمُ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدِيرٞ

(259) ^[461] Or like the one who came upon a town deserted and gone to rack and ruin; he said ˹wondering˺: “How will Allah restore this to life after its death!” Allah made him die for a hundred years then He brought him back. He ˹Allah˺ said: “How much ˹time˺ did you stay?” He said ˹guessing˺: “A day or part of it!” He ˹Allah˺ said: “Nay, but you stayed for a hundred years. Look then at your food and drink it has not become putrid. ˹But˺ Look at your donkey – We will make you a Sign to people – see the bones how We splice them together and clothe them with flesh”. When he was sure, he said: “I know ˹for certain˺ that Allah is Able over everything”.

[461] The previous episode demonstrated God’s Lordship (Ulūhiyyah) but this and the next one show His ability to resurrect (baʿth) His creation as also prove that God alone is “the One Who gives life and causes death”. (Ibn ʿĀshūr)
