أَوْ
كَالَّذِي
مَرَّ
عَلَى
قَرْيَةٍ
وَهِيَ
خَاوِيَةٌ
عَلَى
عُرُوشِهَا
قَالَ
أَنَّى
يُحْيِي
هَذِهِ
اللَّهُ
بَعْدَ
مَوْتِهَا
فَأَمَاتَهُ
اللَّهُ
مِائَةَ
عَامٍ
ثُمَّ
بَعَثَهُ
قَالَ
كَمْ
لَبِثْتَ
قَالَ
لَبِثْتُ
يَوْمًا
أَوْ
بَعْضَ
يَوْمٍ
قَالَ
بَل
لَّبِثْتَ
مِائَةَ
عَامٍ
فَانظُرْ
إِلَى
طَعَامِكَ
وَشَرَابِكَ
لَمْ
يَتَسَنَّهْ
وَانظُرْ
إِلَى
حِمَارِكَ
وَلِنَجْعَلَكَ
آيَةً
لِّلنَّاسِ
وَانظُرْ
إِلَى
الْعِظَامِ
كَيْفَ
نُنشِزُهَا
ثُمَّ
نَكْسُوهَا
لَحْمًا
فَلَمَّا
تَبَيَّنَ
لَهُ
قَالَ
أَعْلَمُ
أَنَّ
اللَّهَ
عَلَى
كُلِّ
شَيْءٍ
قَدِيرٌ

(Or have you heard) of the one who, on passing through an empty and ruined town, said, "When will God bring it to life?" God caused him to die and brought him back to life after a hundred years and then asked him, "How long have you been here?" He replied, "One day or part of a day." The Lord said, "No, you have been here for one hundred years. Look at your food and drink. They have not yet decayed. But look at your donkey and its bones. To make your case evidence (of the Truth) for the people, see how we bring the bones together and cover them with flesh." When he learned the whole story, he said, "Now I know that God has power over all things."
