Or like the one who passed by a town and it had tumbled over its roofs. He said: "Oh! How will Allah ever bring it to life after its death?" So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, then raised him up (again). He said: "How long did you remain (dead)?" He (the man) said: "(Perhaps) I remained (dead) a day or part of a day". He said: "Nay, you have remained (dead) for a hundred years, look at your food and your drink, they show no change; and look at your donkey! And thus We have made of you a sign for the people. Look at the bones, how We bring them together and clothe them with flesh". When this was clearly shown to him, he said, "I know (now) that Allah is Able to do all things."
Au kama yule aliye pita karibu na mji ulio kwisha kuwa magofu tu, akasema: Ataufufuaje Mwenyezi Mungu mji huu baada ya kufa kwake? Basi Mwenyezi Mungu alimfisha yeye muda wa miaka mia. Kisha akamfufua. Akamuuliza: Je umekaa muda gani? Akajibu: Labda nimekaa siku moja au sehemu ya siku. Akamwambia: Bali umekaa miaka mia wewe. Hebu angalia chakula chako na vinywaji vyako, havikuharibika. Na muangalie punda wako. Na ili tukufanye uwe ni Ishara kwa watu iangalie hii mifupa yake jinsi tunavyo inyanyua kisha tunaivisha nyama. Basi yalipo mbainikia alinena: Najua kwamba Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwenye uweza juu ya kila kitu.
