This incident is referred to a man (EZRA), who in his journey rides an ass, and carries with him some food and drink and, Lo! He sees the ruins of a desolate town, and the dreadful view of the scattered and rotten bones of its inhabitants! The fearful scenery puts him in doubt and despair, and asks himself: ``How and when will Allah give life to them after such a death?!''

      But as the verse implies God can cause resurrection as He has done many time in history. The verse says: ``Then Allah caused him to die a hundred years. Then He raised him up again.''

      Then in order to assure HIS apostle; God tells him to look over his food and drink which was still as fresh as he had left it besides! On the other hand he looked at his donkey and saw that only some of its bones were remained; dry and all rotten. The verse continues: ``Then look at your food and drink! Ages has not rotten them, but observe the rotten bones of your ass and see how we gather them together and reunite them, and see how do We cover them with flesh and skin, and blow life in him, just to make a sign of you and a teaching lesson for mankind.''

      When all these happened and the dead man and animal got a new life, Ezra said: ``Now I know well that Allah has power to do whatever He intends.''
