Surah [2] Al-Baqara : 259

اَوۡ كَالَّذِىۡ مَرَّ عَلٰى قَرۡيَةٍ وَّ هِىَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلٰى عُرُوۡشِهَا ‌ۚ قَالَ اَنّٰى يُحۡىٖ هٰذِهِ اللّٰهُ بَعۡدَ مَوۡتِهَا ‌ۚ فَاَمَاتَهُ اللّٰهُ مِائَةَ عَامٍ ثُمَّ بَعَثَهٗ ‌ؕ قَالَ كَمۡ لَبِثۡتَ‌ؕ قَالَ لَبِثۡتُ يَوۡمًا اَوۡ بَعۡضَ يَوۡمٍ‌ؕ قَالَ بَلۡ لَّبِثۡتَ مِائَةَ عَامٍ فَانۡظُرۡ اِلٰى طَعَامِكَ وَشَرَابِكَ لَمۡ يَتَسَنَّهۡ‌ۚ وَانْظُرۡ اِلٰى حِمَارِكَ وَلِنَجۡعَلَكَ اٰيَةً لِّلنَّاسِ‌ وَانْظُرۡ اِلَى الۡعِظَامِ كَيۡفَ نُـنۡشِزُهَا ثُمَّ نَكۡسُوۡهَا لَحۡمًا ‌ؕ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهٗ ۙ قَالَ اَعۡلَمُ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ قَدِيۡرٌ (البقرة :259)

أَوْ
Or
كَٱلَّذِى
like the one who
مَرَّ
passed
عَلَىٰ
by
قَرْيَةٍ
a township
وَهِىَ
and it
خَاوِيَةٌ
(had) overturned
عَلَىٰ
on
عُرُوشِهَا
its roofs
قَالَ
He said
أَنَّىٰ
"How
يُحْىِۦ
(will) bring to life
هَٰذِهِ
this (town)
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
بَعْدَ
after
مَوْتِهَاۖ
its death?"
فَأَمَاتَهُ
Then he was made to die
ٱللَّهُ
(by) Allah
مِا۟ئَةَ
(for) a hundred
عَامٍ
year(s)
ثُمَّ
then
بَعَثَهُۥۖ
He raised him
قَالَ
He said
كَمْ
"How long
لَبِثْتَۖ
(have) you remained?"
قَالَ
He said
لَبِثْتُ
"I remained
يَوْمًا
(for) a day
أَوْ
or
بَعْضَ
a part
يَوْمٍۖ
(of) a day"
قَالَ
He said
بَل
"Nay
لَّبِثْتَ
you (have) remained
مِا۟ئَةَ
one hundred
عَامٍ
year(s)
فَٱنظُرْ
Then look
إِلَىٰ
at
طَعَامِكَ
your food
وَشَرَابِكَ
and your drink
لَمْ
(they did) not
يَتَسَنَّهْۖ
change with time
وَٱنظُرْ
and look
إِلَىٰ
at
حِمَارِكَ
your donkey
وَلِنَجْعَلَكَ
and We will make you
ءَايَةً
a sign
لِّلنَّاسِۖ
for the people
وَٱنظُرْ
And look
إِلَى
at
ٱلْعِظَامِ
the bones
كَيْفَ
how
نُنشِزُهَا
We raise them
ثُمَّ
then
نَكْسُوهَا
We cover them
لَحْمًاۚ
(with) flesh"
فَلَمَّا
Then when
تَبَيَّنَ
became clear
لَهُۥ
to him
قَالَ
he said
أَعْلَمُ
"I know
أَنَّ
that
ٱللَّهَ
Allah

(is) on
كُلِّ
every

Sahih International:

Or [consider such an example] as the one who passed by a township which had fallen into ruin. He said, "How will Allah bring this to life after its death?" So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years; then He revived him. He said, "How long have you remained?" The man said, "I have remained a day or part of a day." He said, "Rather, you have remained one hundred years. Look at your food and your drink; it has not changed with time. And look at your donkey; and We will make you a sign for the people. And look at the bones [of this donkey] - how We raise them and then We cover them with flesh." And when it became clear to him, he said, "I know that Allah is over all things competent."
