Surah 5 Al-Ma'idah, Ayat 110-110
اِذۡ قَالَ اللّٰهُ يٰعِيۡسَى ابۡنَ مَرۡيَمَ اذۡكُرۡ نِعۡمَتِىۡ عَلَيۡكَ وَعَلٰى وَالِدَتِكَ ۘ اِذۡ اَيَّدتُّكَ بِرُوۡحِ الۡقُدُسِ تُكَلِّمُ النَّاسَ فِىۡ الۡمَهۡدِ وَكَهۡلًا ۚوَاِذۡ عَلَّمۡتُكَ الۡـكِتٰبَ وَالۡحِكۡمَةَ وَالتَّوۡرٰٮةَ وَالۡاِنۡجِيۡلَ ۚ وَاِذۡ تَخۡلُقُ مِنَ الطِّيۡنِ كَهَيۡـئَـةِ الطَّيۡرِ بِاِذۡنِىۡ فَتَـنۡفُخُ فِيۡهَا فَتَكُوۡنُ طَيۡرًۢا بِاِذۡنِىۡ وَ تُبۡرِئُ الۡاَكۡمَهَ وَالۡاَبۡرَصَ بِاِذۡنِىۡ ۚ وَاِذۡ تُخۡرِجُ الۡمَوۡتٰى بِاِذۡنِىۡ ۚ وَاِذۡ كَفَفۡتُ بَنِىۡۤ اِسۡرَآءِيۡلَ عَنۡكَ اِذۡ جِئۡتَهُمۡ بِالۡبَيِّنٰتِ فَقَالَ الَّذِيۡنَ كَفَرُوۡا مِنۡهُمۡ اِنۡ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا سِحۡرٌ مُّبِيۡنٌ
﴿5:110﴾
(5:110) Imagine, then, when Allah will say:125 'Jesus, son of
Mary, recall My favour upon you and your mother, and when I strengthened you
with the spirit of holiness so that you talked to men in the cradle and also
when you became of age; and when I taught you the Book and Wisdom, and the Torah
and the Gospel; and when, by My leave, you fashioned from clay the likeness
of a bird and you breathed into it, and by My leave it became a bird; you healed,
by My leave, the blind from birth and the leprous; and when, by My leave, you
caused the dead to come to life.126 And recall when I restrained
the Israelites from you when you came to them with clear proofs whereupon those
of them who disbelieved said: "This is nothing but clear magic."
Notes
125. The initial question would be addressed to all Prophets as such. Then
each of them would be called upon to bear witness separately, as stated in several
places in the Qur'an. In this connection the question that will be addressed
to Jesus is specifically mentioned here.
126. That is, with God's command Jesus brought people to life from the state
of death.
