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

كَٱلَّذِي

عَلَىٰ
قَرۡيَةٖ
وَهِيَ
خَاوِيَةٌ
عَلَىٰ
عُرُوشِهَا
قَالَ

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

قَالَ
أَعۡلَمُ
أَنَّ
ٱللَّهَ

Or, (do you not know) the example of the one who passed through a town that had collapsed on its roofs. He said: “How shall Allah revive this after it is dead?” So, Allah made him dead for a hundred years, then raised him saying: “How long did you remain (in this state)?” He said: “I remained for a day or part of a day”. Said He: “Rather, you remained (dead) for a hundred years. Just look at your food and your drink; it has not spoiled. Now look at your donkey. (We did) this to make you a sign for people! Look at the bones, how We raise them, then dress them with flesh.” So, when it was clear to him, he said: “I know that Allah is Powerful over everything.”
