﴿ أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ ﴾

“Does man think that We cannot [resurrect him and] bring his bones together again?”

(Thinketh man that We shall not assemble his bones?) [75:3]. This verse was revealed about �Adiyy ibn Rabi�ah. The latter went to the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, and said: �Tell me about the Day of Arising, when is it going to be? How is it going to be?� The Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, answered his questions. Then �Adiyy said: �If I were to see that Day with my own eyes, I would not accept what you say, O Muhammad, as true nor would I believe in you. Can Allah really assemble these bones?� And so Allah, exalted is He, revealed this verse.
