drink which have not rotted! Look at thine ass! And, that We may make
thee a token unto mankind, look at the bones, how We adjust them and
then cover them with flesh! And when (the matter) became clear unto
him, he said: I know now that Allah is Able to do all things.

S: Or the like of him (Uzair) who passed by a town, and it had fallen
down upon its roofs; he said: When will Allah give it life after its
death? So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years, then raised him
to life. He said: How long have you tarried? He said: I have tarried a
day, or a part of a day. Said He: Nay! you have tarried a hundred
years; then look at your food and drink-- years have not passed over
it; and look at your ass; and that We may make you a sign to men, and
look at the bones, how We set them together, then clothed them with
flesh; so when it became clear to him, he said: I know that Allah has
power over all things.

Y: When Abraham said: "Show me, Lord, how You will raise the dead," He
replied: "Have you no faith?" He said "Yes, but just to reassure my
heart." Allah said, "Take four birds, draw them to you, and cut their
bodies to pieces. Scatter them over the mountain-tops, then call them
back. They will come swiftly to you. Know that Allah is Mighty, Wise."

P: And when Abraham said (unto his Lord): My Lord! Show me how Thou
givest life to the dead, He said: Dost thou not believe? Abraham said:

place a part of them on each hill, then call them, they will come to
thee in haste, and know that Allah is Mighty, Wise.

S: And when Ibrahim said: My Lord! show me how Thou givest life to the
dead, He said: What! and do you not believe? He said: Yes, but that my
heart may be at ease. He said: Then take four of the birds, then train
them to follow you, then place on every mountain a part of them, then
call them, they will come to you flying; and know that Allah is Mighty,
Wise.

Y: The parable of those who spend their substance in the way of Allah is
that of a grain of corn: it groweth seven ears, and each ear Hath a
hundred grains. Allah giveth manifold increase to whom He pleaseth: And
Allah careth for all and He knoweth all things.

P: The likeness of those who spend their wealth in Allah's way is as the
likeness of a grain which groweth seven ears, in every ear a hundred
gr
