259. Or like the one who passed by a town and it had tumbled over
its roofs. He said: "Oh! How will Allâh ever bring it to life after
its death?" So Allâh 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 Allâh is Able to do all things."
