It is Allah that takes the souls (of men) at death; and those that die not (He takes) during their sleep: those on whom He has passed the decree of death, He keeps back (from returning to life), but the rest He sends (to their bodies) for a term appointed verily in this are Signs for those 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.
