وَإِذْ
قَالَ
إِبْرَاهِيمُ
رَبِّ
أَرِنِي
كَيْفَ
تُحْيِي
الْمَوْتَى
قَالَ
أَوَلَمْ
تُؤْمِن
قَالَ
بَلَى
وَلَكِن
لِّيَطْمَئِنَّ
قَلْبِي
قَالَ
فَخُذْ
أَرْبَعَةً
مِّنَ
الطَّيْرِ
فَصُرْهُنَّ
إِلَيْكَ
ثُمَّ
اجْعَلْ
عَلَى
كُلِّ
جَبَلٍ
مِّنْهُنَّ
جُزْءًا
ثُمَّ
ادْعُهُنَّ
يَأْتِينَكَ
سَعْيًا
وَاعْلَمْ
أَنَّ
اللَّهَ
عَزِيزٌ
حَكِيمٌ

When Abraham said: "Show me, Lord, how You will raise the dead, " He replied: "Have you no faith?" He said "Yes, but just to reassure my heart." Allah said, "Take four birds, draw them to you, and cut their bodies to pieces. Scatter them over the mountain-tops, then call them back. They will come swiftly to you. Know that Allah is Mighty, Wise."
— Abdullah Yusufali
And when Abraham said, ‘My Lord! Show me how You revive the dead,’ He said, ‘Do you not believe?’ He said, ‘Yes indeed, but in order that my heart may be at rest.’ He said, ‘Catch four of the birds. Then cut them into pieces, and place a part of them on every mountain, then call them; they will come to you hastening. And know that Allah is all-mighty and all-wise.’
