Surah Yasin Ayat 78

Pada ayat ini dijelaskan tentang keraguan kaum kafir Mekah terhadap adanya hari kebangkitan. Mereka berpendapat demikian karena telah melupakan asal kejadian masing-masing. Mereka diingatkan bahwa Allah telah menciptakan mereka dari setetes air mani, sehingga mereka lahir berwujud manusia yang hidup dan utuh. Jika seandainya mereka mengingat dan menyadari hal ini, pastilah mereka yakin bahwa Allah juga kuasa menghidupkannya kembali sesudah mati, walaupun tulang-belulang mereka sudah remuk.

It is reported that he al-‘Āsī took some withered bones and crushed them into pieces and said to the Prophet s ‘Do you think that God can revive these bones after they have decayed and become rot?’ And so the Prophet s said ‘Yes indeed! And He will also throw you into the Fire’.
