or of him who when passing by a town the roofs of which had caved in exclaimed how will god restore it to life after its destruction? thereupon god caused him to die and after a hundred years brought him back to life. god asked how long have you remained in this state? he answered i have remained a day or part of a day. god said no you have remained in this state for a hundred years. now look at your food and your drink they have not rotted. look at your ass. we will make you a sign to mankind. look at the bones how we set them together then clothe them with flesh! when it had all become clear to him he said now i know that god has power over all things.
أو كالذي مر على قرية وهي خاوية على عروشها قال أنى يحيي هذه الله بعد موتها فأماته الله مائة عام ثم بعثه قال كم لبثت قال لبثت يوما أو بعض يوم قال بل لبثت مائة عام فانظر إلى طعامك وشرابك لم يتسنه وانظر إلى حمارك ولنجعلك آية للناس وانظر إلى العظام كيف ننشزها ثم نكسوها لحما فلما تبين له قال أعلم أن الله على كل شيء قدير
