 2:259 

أَوْ كَالَّذِي مَرَّ‌ عَلَىٰ قَرْ‌يَةٍ وَهِيَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَىٰ عُرُ‌وشِهَا قَالَ أَنَّىٰ يُحْيِي هَـٰذِهِ اللَّـهُ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا ۖ فَأَمَاتَهُ اللَّـهُ مِائَةَ عَامٍ ثُمَّ بَعَثَهُ ۖ قَالَ كَمْ لَبِثْتَ ۖ قَالَ لَبِثْتُ يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ ۖ قَالَ بَل لَّبِثْتَ مِائَةَ عَامٍ فَانظُرْ‌ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِكَ وَشَرَ‌ابِكَ لَمْ يَتَسَنَّهْ ۖ وَانظُرْ‌ إِلَىٰ حِمَارِ‌كَ وَلِنَجْعَلَكَ آيَةً لِّلنَّاسِ ۖ وَانظُرْ‌ إِلَى الْعِظَامِ كَيْفَ نُنشِزُهَا ثُمَّ نَكْسُوهَا لَحْمًا ۚ فَلَمَّا تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ قَالَ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللَّـهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ‌

Or (consider such an example) as the one who passed by a township which had fallen into ruin.  He said, "How will Allah bring this to life after its death?"  So Allah caused him to die for a hundred years; then He revived him.  He said, "How long have you remained?"  The man said, "I have remained a day or part of a day." He said, "Rather, you have remained one hundred years.  Look at your food and your drink; it has not changed with time.  And look at your donkey; and We will make you a sign for the people.  And look at the bones (of this donkey) - how We raised them and then We cover them with flesh."  And when it became clear to him, he said, "I know that Allah is over all things competent."
