quran:2:260

And ˹mention˺ when Abraham said, "My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead." ˹Allah˺ said, "Have you not believed?" He said, "Yes, but ˹I ask˺ only that my heart may be satisfied." ˹Allah˺ said, "Take four birds and commit them to yourself. Then ˹after slaughtering them˺ put on each hill a portion of them; then call them - they will come ˹flying˺ to you in haste. And know that Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise."  

And, mention, when Abraham said, ‘My Lord show me how You give life to the dead,’ He, God, exalted be He, said, to him, ‘Why, do you not believe?’, in My power to revive; God asks him this even though He knows of his belief in this ˹power˺, as a response to his request, and so that the ones listening will know the purpose ˹of the request˺; ‘Yes,’, I do believe, he said, ‘but, I ask You, so that my heart may be re-assured’, ˹so that it may be˺ at peace, through direct vision, in addition to that ˹certainty˺ which is sought through logical reasoning. Said He, ‘Take four birds, and twist them to you (sirhunna, or surhunna), turn them towards you, cut them up and mix together their flesh and feathers, then set a part of them on every hill, in the land around you, then summon them, to you, and they will come to you in haste. And know that God is Mighty, that nothing is beyond Him, Wise’, in His actions. Abraham took a peacock, an eagle, a raven and a cock and did with them as has been mentioned, but kept their heads with him. He called them, and all the parts began to fly back together, combining until they were whole and returning to their heads.
القرآن:٢:٢٦٠

وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ رَبِّ أَرِنِي كَيْفَ تُحْيِي الْمَوْتَىٰ ۖ قَالَ أَوَلَمْ تُؤْمِنْ ۖ قَالَ بَلَىٰ وَلَٰكِنْ لِيَطْمَئِنَّ قَلْبِي ۖ قَالَ فَخُذْ أَرْبَعَةً مِنَ الطَّيْرِ فَصُرْهُنَّ إِلَيْكَ ثُمَّ اجْعَلْ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ جَبَلٍ مِنْهُنَّ جُزْءًا ثُمَّ ادْعُهُنَّ يَأْتِينَكَ سَعْيًا ۚ وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ  

{و} اذكر {إذ قال إبراهيم ربَّ أرني كيف تحيي الموتى قال} تعالى له {أولم تؤمن} بقدرتي على الإحياء سأله مع علمه بإيمانه بذلك ليجيبه بما سأل فيعلم السامعون غرضه {قال بلى} آمنت {ولكن} سألتك {ليطمئن} يسكن {قلبي} بالمعاينة المضمومة إلى الاستدلال {قال فخذ أربعة من الطير فّصُرْهُنَّ إليك} بكسر الصاد وضمها أملهن إليك وقطعهن واخلط لحمهن وريشهن {ثم اجعل على كل جبل} من جبال أرضك {منهن جزءاً ثم ادعهن} إليك {يأتينك سعيا} سريعا {واعلم أن الله عزيز} لا يعجزه شيء {حكيم} في صنعه فأخذ طاووسا ونسرا وغرابا وديكا وفعل بهن ما ذكر وأمسك رءوسهن عنده ودعاهن فتطايرت الأجزاء إلى بعضها حتى تكاملت ثم أقبلت إلى رءوسها.
