Al-Baqarah 2:259 او كالذي مر على قرية وهي خاوية على عروشها قال انى يحيي هاذه الله بعد موتها فاماته الله ماية عام ثم بعثه قال كم لبثت قال لبثت يوما او بعض يوم قال بل لبثت ماية عام فانظر الى طعامك وشرابك لم يتسنه وانظر الى حمارك ولنجعلك اية للناس وانظر الى العظام كيف ننشزها ثم نكسوها لحما فلما تبين له قال اعلم ان الله على كل شيء قدير ٢٥٩

Or consider him by way of example who passed by a town that was fallen down upon its turrets.¹ He exclaimed: “How will Allah restore life to this town that is now dead?”² Allah then caused him to remain dead for a hundred years and then raised him to life, and asked him: “How long did you remain in this state?” He replied: “I remained so for a day or a part of a day.” Allah rejoined: “No, you have rather stayed thus for a hundred years. But look at your food and your drink, there is no deterioration in them. And look at your ass (how its entire skeleton has rotted)! And We did all this so that We might make you a token of instruction for people.³ And see how We will put the bones (of the ass) together and will clothe them with flesh.” Thus when the reality became clear to him, he said: “I know that Allah has power over everything.”
