واذ قال ابراهيم رب ارني كيف تحيي الموتى قال اولم تؤمن قال بلى ولكن ليطمئن قلبي قال فخذ اربعة من الطير فصرهن اليك ثم اجعل على كل جبل منهن جزءا ثم ادعهن ياتينك سعيا واعلم ان الله عزيز حكيم

Behold! Abraham said: "My Lord! Show me how Thou givest life to the dead." He said: "Dost thou not Then believe?" He said: "Yea! but to satisfy My own understanding." He said: "Take four birds; Tame them to turn to thee; Put a portion of them On every hill, and call to them: They will come to thee (Flying) with speed. Then know that God Is Exalted in Power, Wise."
