259.Or like the one who passed by a town [669] (prophet Uzair) which had fallen into ruins. He said: "How will Allah bring this to life [670] after its death?" So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years [671], then He revived him. He said: "How long have you stayed here?" He replied: "I've remained a full day or part of it." Allah said: "No, you stayed for a hundred years [672]. Look at your food and your drink; they have not changed with time. Yet, look at your donkey, whose bones are not safe [673]. And We will make you a sign for mankind. Look at the bones [674] how We raise them, and then cover them with flesh." When this matter became clear to him, he said: "I know very well [675] that Allah has power over all things [676]."
