to come to you
سَعْيًۭا

ۚ
وَٱعْلَمْ
and know
أَنَّ
that
ٱللَّهَ
the One is
عَزِيزٌ

وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَٰهِـۧمُ رَبِّ أَرِنِى كَيْفَ تُحْىِ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ ۖ قَالَ أَوَلَمْ تُؤْمِن ۖ قَالَ بَلَىٰ وَلَٰكِن لِّيَطْمَئِنَّ قَلْبِى ۖ قَالَ فَخُذْ أَرْبَعَةًۭ مِّنَ ٱلطَّيْرِ فَصُرْهُنَّ إِلَيْكَ ثُمَّ ٱجْعَلْ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ جَبَلٍۢ مِّنْهُنَّ جُزْءًۭا ثُمَّ ٱدْعُهُنَّ يَأْتِينَكَ سَعْيًۭا ۚ وَٱعْلَمْ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌۭ And when said Ibrahim, [Rabb! Show me how do you give life to the dead?] (The One) said, [Do you not have trust?] (Ibrahim) said, [On the contrary, rather to make calm my heart]. The One said, [Then take four from the birds, then bind them to yourself, then place upon all mountains from them (the birds) an element, then invoke them to come to you immediately; and know that the One is fortified, wise.]

And when Abraham said (unto his Lord): My Lord! Show me how Thou givest life to the dead, He said: Dost thou not believe? Abraham said: Yea, but (I ask) in order that my heart may be at ease. (His Lord) said: Take four of the birds and cause them to incline unto thee, then place a part of them on each hill, then call them, they will come to thee in haste, and know that Allah is Mighty, Wise. - Pickthall, Marmaduke

And when Abraham said, [My Lord! Show me how You revive the dead,] He said, [Do you not believe?] He said, [Yes indeed, but in order that my heart may be at rest.] He said, [Catch four of the birds. Then cut them into pieces, and place a part of them on every mountain, then call them; they will come to you hastening. And know that Allah is all-mighty and all-wise.] - Qarai, Ali Quli

When Abraham prayed, [Lord, show me how you bring the dead back to life,] the Lord said, [Do you not yet believe?] Abraham replied, [I believe but want more confidence for my heart.] God told him, [Take four birds, induce them to come to you, cut and scatter their bodies leaving parts on every mountain top, then call them and they will swiftly come to you.] Know that God is Majestic and Wise. - Sarwar, Muhammad

When Abraham said, [Show me, my Lord, how You revive the dead!] God said, [Do you not believe?] Abraham answered, [Yes, indeed I do believe, but just to reassure my heart.] Then God said, [Take four birds, and train them to come back to you. Then place them separately on each hilltop, and call them: they will come flying to you. Know that God is almighty and wise.] - Wahiduddin Khan

اور اس موقع کو یاد کرو جب ابراہیم علیھ السّلامنے التجا کی کہ پروردگار مجھے یہ دکھا دے کہ تو مفِدوںکو کس طرح زندہ کرتا ہے . ارشاد ہوا کیا تمہارا ایمان نہیں ہے . عرض کی ایمان توہے لیکن اطمینان چاہتا ہوں . ارشاد ہوا کہ چار طائر پکڑلو اور انہیں اپنے سے مانوس بناؤ پھر ٹکڑے ٹکڑے کرکے ہر پہاڑ پر ایک حصّہ رکھ دو اور پھرآواز دو سب دوڑتے ہوئے آجائیں گے اور یاد رکھو کہ خدا صاحبِ عزّت بھی اور صاحبِ حکمت بھی - Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
اور وہ واقعہ بھی پیش نظر رہے، جب ابراہیمؑ نے کہا تھا کہ: ——میرے مالک، مجھے دکھا دے، تو مُردوں کو کیسے زندہ کرتا ہے—— فرمایا: ——کیا تو ایمان نہیں رکھتا؟—— اُس نے عرض کیا ——ایمان تو رکھتا ہوں، مگر دل کا اطمینان درکار ہے—— فرمایا: ——اچھا تو چار پرندے لے اور ان کو اپنے سے مانوس کر لے پھر ان کا ایک ایک جز ایک ایک پہاڑ پر رکھ دے پھر ان کو پکار، وہ تیرے پاس دوڑے چلے آئیں گے خوب جان لے کہ اللہ نہایت با اقتدار اور حکیم ہے—— - Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
اور جب عرض کی ابراہیم نے اے رب میرے مجھے دکھا دے تو کیونکر مردے جِلائے گا فرمایا کیا تجھے یقین نہیں عرض کی یقین کیوں نہیں مگر یہ چاہتا ہوں کہ میرے دل کو قرار آجائے فرمایا تو اچھا، چار پرندے لے کر اپنے ساتھ ہلالے پھر ان کا ایک ایک ٹکڑا ہر پہاڑ پر رکھ دے پھر انہیں بلا وہ تیرے پاس چلے آئیں گے پاؤں سے دوڑتے اور جان رکھ کہ اللہ غالب حکمت والا ہے - Ahmed Raza
⦿
(اے رسول(ص)) وہ واقعہ یاد کرو۔ جب ابراہیم (ع) نے کہا: اے پروردگار! مجھے دکھلا کہ تو مُردوں کو کیوں کر زندہ کرتا ہے؟ خدا نے فرمایا: کیا تمہارا (اس پر) ایمان نہیں ہے؟ کہا: کیوں نہیں؟ (ایمان تو ہے) مگر چاہتا ہوں کہ (آنکھوں سے دیکھوں) تاکہ (دل) کو اطمینان ہو جائے (اور اسے قرار آئے) فرمایا: چار پرندے لو۔ اور انہیں اپنے پاس اکٹھا کرو اور اپنے سے مانوس بناؤ۔ پھر (انہیں ٹکڑے ٹکڑے کرکے) ہر پہاڑ پر ایک ٹکڑا رکھ دو۔ پھر انہیں آواز دو۔ تو وہ دوڑتے ہوئے تمہارے پاس آئیں گے اور خوب جان لو کہ خدا زبردست اور حکمت والا ہے۔ - Najafi, Muhammad
