وَ اِذْ قَالَ اِبْرٰهٖمُ رَبِّ اَرِنِیْ كَیْفَ تُحْیِ الْمَوْتٰىؕ-قَالَ اَوَ لَمْ تُؤْمِنْؕ-قَالَ بَلٰى وَ لٰـكِنْ لِّیَطْمَىٕنَّ قَلْبِیْؕ-قَالَ فَخُذْ اَرْبَعَةً مِّنَ الطَّیْرِ فَصُرْهُنَّ اِلَیْكَ ثُمَّ اجْعَلْ عَلٰى كُلِّ جَبَلٍ مِّنْهُنَّ جُزْءًا ثُمَّ ادْعُهُنَّ یَاْتِیْنَكَ سَعْیًاؕ-وَ اعْلَمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ عَزِیْزٌ حَكِیْمٌ(260)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

And when Ibrāhīm said, “O my Lord, show me how You will bring the dead back to life?” Allah said, “Do you not have certainty?” Ibrāhīm said, “Of course, but ˹I wish˺ for my heart to be content.”[1] Allah said, “Take any four birds, then let them become accustomed to you, then (after slaughter,) place a piece from each of them on the mountains, then call them, they will come to you with haste. And know that Allah is Predominant, Most-Wise.”[2]

Commentary

[1]

This verse relates an account of resurrection which expresses the great Power of Allah Almighty.

[2]

This highlights the fact that the Prophets and Messengers have a very high rank in the Court of Allah Almighty because Allah Almighty fulfils their wishes and answers their prayers to the extent that He brings the dead back to life with their supplications.
