It is Allah Who takes away the souls of people at the hour of their death, and takes away at the time of sleep the souls of those that have not died. Then He retains the souls of those against whom He had decreed death and returns the souls of others till an appointed time. Surely there are Signs in this for a people who reflect.
خدا روح مردم را هنگام مرگشان به تمامى باز مى‌ستاند، و [نيز] روحى را كه در [موقع‌] خوابش نمرده است [قبض مى‌كند]؛ پس آن [نفسى‌] را كه مرگ را بر او واجب كرده نگاه مى‌دارد، و آن ديگر [نفسها] را تا هنگامى معيّن [به سوى زندگى دنيا] بازپس مى‌فرستد. قطعاً در اين [امر] براى مردمى كه مى‌انديشند نشانه‌هايى [از قدرت خدا]ست.
