When Abraham said: "Show me, Lord, how You will raise the dead, " He replied: "Have you no faith?" He said "Yes, but just to reassure my heart." Allah said, "Take four birds, draw them to you, and cut their bodies to pieces. Scatter them over the mountain-tops, then call them back. They will come swiftly to you. Know that Allah is Mighty, Wise."

"And (appoint him) a messenger to the Children of Israel, (with this message): "'I have come to you, with a Sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah's leave: And I heal those born blind, and the lepers, and I quicken the dead, by Allah's leave; and I declare to you what ye eat, and what ye store in your houses.

Then will Allah say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My favour to thee and to thy mother. Behold!

I taught thee the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel and behold! thou makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and thou breathest into it and it becometh a bird by My leave, and thou healest those born blind, and the lepers, by My leave.

Do they not look at the birds, held poised in the midst of (the air and) the sky? Nothing holds them up but (the power of) Allah. Verily in this are signs for those who believe.

And Solomon was David's heir. He said: "O ye people! We have been taught the speech of birds, and on us has been bestowed (a little) of all things: this is indeed Grace manifest (from Allah.)"

Do they not observe the birds above them, spreading their wings and folding them in? None can uphold them except (Allah) Most Gracious: Truly (Allah) Most Gracious: Truly it is He that watches over all things.

当时，易卜拉欣说：“我的主啊！求你昭示我你怎样使死人复活。”真主说：“难道你不信吗？”他说：“不然，（我要求实验）以便我的心安定。”真主说：“你取四只鸟，使它们倾向你，然後，在每座山上安置它们中的一部分，然後，你叫唤它们，它们就飞到你的面前来。你当知道真主是万能的，是至睿的。”

他要使他去教化以色列的后裔。（尔撒说）：我确已把你们的主所降示一种迹象，带来给你们了。我必定为你们用泥做一个象鸟样的东西，我吹口气在里面，它就奉真主的命令而飞动。我奉真主的命令，能医治天然盲、大麻疯，又能使死者复活，又能把你们所吃的和你们储藏在家里的食物告诉你们。对于你们，此中确有一种迹象，如果你们是信道的人。

那时，真主将说麦尔彦之子尔撒啊!你当记忆我所赐你和你母亲的恩典。当时，我曾以玄灵扶助你，你在摇篮里，在壮年时，对人说话。当时，我曾教你书法、智慧、《讨拉特》和《引支勒》。当时，你奉我的命令，用泥捏一只像鸟样的东西，你吹气在里面，它就奉我的命令而飞动。你曾奉我的命令而治疗天然盲和大麻疯。你又奉我的命令而使死人复活。当时，我曾阻止以色列的后裔伤害你。当时，你曾昭示他们许多迹象，他们中不信道的人说：“这只是明显的魔术。”

难道他们没有看见在空中被制服的群鸟吗？只有真主维持他们；对于信道的民众，此中确有许多迹象。

素莱曼继承达五德；他说：“众人啊！我们曾学会百鸟的语言，我们曾获得万物的享受，这确是明显的恩惠。”
