2.259 . Or ( bethink thee of ) the like of him who , passing by a township which had fallen into utter ruin , exclaimed : How shall Allah give this township life after its death? And Allah made him die a hundred years , then brought him back to life . He said : How long hast thou tarried? ( The man ) said : I have tarried a day or part of a day . ( He ) said : Nay , but thou hast tarried for a hundred years . Just look at thy food and drink which have 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 .
