79. 1. That is, the One who creates man from a humble drop of fluid, is He not capable of bringing him back to life again? An incident demonstrating His power to resurrect the dead is mentioned in a hadith: A man, at the time of his death, made a will that after his death he should be burned, and half of his ashes should be scattered in the sea and half on land on a windy day. Allah gathered all the ashes and brought him back to life, and asked him, "Why did you do this?" He replied, "Out of fear of You." So Allah forgave him.
