Or take the man who passed by a town which lay destroyed upside down. He said: “How can God restore this city now that it is destroyed?” So God made him die for a hundred years, then brought him back to life, and inquired: “How long did you stay in this state?” “A day or less than a day,” he replied. “No,” He said, “you were dead a hundred years, yet look at your victuals, they have not decomposed; and look at your ass! We shall make you a warning for men. And regard the bones, how We raise them and clothe them with flesh.” When this became clear to him, the man said: “Indeed God has power over all things.”
