ٱلْبَقَرَة : ٧٣

  • فَقُلۡنَا So We said
  • ٱضۡرِبُوهُ Strike him
  • بِبَعۡضِهَاۚ with a part of it
  • كَذَٰلِكَ Like this
  • يُحۡيِ revives
  • ٱللَّهُ Allah
  • ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ the dead
  • وَيُرِيكُمۡ and shows you
  • ءَايَٰتِهِۦ His Signs
  • لَعَلَّكُمۡ perhaps you may
  • تَعۡقِلُونَ use your intellect
So We said, "Strike him [i.e., the slain man] with part of it."1 Thus does Allāh bring the dead to life, and He shows you His signs that you might reason.

1 - i.e., the cow. Thereupon, Allāh restored life to the man, who informed them of his murderer.
so We said, 'Smite him, the slain man, with part of it', and so when he was struck with its tongue or its tail, he came back to life and said, 'So-and-so killed me', and after pointing out two of his cousins, he died; the two [killers] were denied the inheritance and were later killed. God says: even so, is the revival, for, God brings to life the dead, and He shows you His signs, the proofs of His power, so that you might understand, [that you might] reflect and realise that the One capable of reviving a single soul is also capable of reviving a multitude of souls, and then believe.
