Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
Or like him * who passed by a dwelling and it had fallen
flat on its roofs; he said, "How will Allah bring it to life,
after its death?"; so Allah kept him dead for a hundred years,
then brought him back to life; He said, "How long have you
stayed here?"; he replied, "I may have stayed for a day or
little less"; He said, "In fact, you have spent a hundred
years - so look at your food and drink which do not even smell
stale; and look at your donkey whose bones even are not intact
- in order that We may make you a sign for mankind - and look
at the bones how We assemble them and then cover them with
flesh"; so when the matter became clear to him, he said, "I
know well that Allah is Able to do all things." (Prophet Uzair
- peace be upon him.)
