And when Our clear communications are recited to them, those who hope not for Our meeting say: Bring a Quran other than this or change it. Say: It does not beseem me that I should change it of myself; I follow naught but what is revealed to me; surely I fear, if I disobey my Lord, the punishment of a mighty day.

And they say: What! when we shall have become bones and decayed particles, shall we then certainly be raised up, being a new creation?

He said: My Lord! surely my bones are weakened and my head flares with hoariness, and, my Lord! I have never been unsuccessful in my prayer to Thee:

They say: What! When we are dead and become dust and bones, shall we then be raised?

And they used to say: What! when we die and have become dust and bones, shall we then indeed be raised?
