56. Then We raised you up after your death [72], so that you might be grateful.

[72] Now Musa (Moses) ؑ became concerned about what he would say to his people when he returned alone. Therefore, he prayed to Allah again and said: "O Allah! If this was Your will, You could have destroyed them and me as well before this day. Will You destroy us because of what these foolish people have said?" [7: 155] So Allah accepted Musa's prayer and brought them back to life anew.
