or as the one who passed by a township which had fallen into ruin. he said how will allah bring this to life after its death? so allah caused him to die for a hundred years then he revived him. he said how long have you remained? the man said i have remained a day or part of a day. he said rather you have remained one hundred years. look at your food and your drink it has not changed with time. and look at your donkey and we will make you a sign for the people. and look at the bones how we raise them and then we cover them with flesh. and when it became clear to him he said i know that allah is over all things competent.
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
