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.
يا [داستان‌] كسى كه بر شهرى گذشت كه بر سقف‌هايش فرو ريخته بود. [در دل‌] گفت: خدا چگونه اهل اين ديار را پس از مرگشان زنده مى‌كند؟ پس خدا او را صد سال بميراند، سپس زنده كرد و گفت: چه مدّت [در اين حال‌] بوده‌اى؟ گفت: يك روز يا بخشى از يك روز بوده‌ام. ف
