وَاِذْ قَالَ اِبْرٰهٖمُ رَبِّ اَرِنِيْ كَيْفَ تُحْيِ الْمَوْتٰىۗ قَالَ اَوَلَمْ تُؤْمِنْ ۗقَالَ بَلٰى وَلٰكِنْ لِّيَطْمَىِٕنَّ قَلْبِيْ ۗقَالَ فَخُذْ اَرْبَعَةً مِّنَ الطَّيْرِفَصُرْهُنَّ اِلَيْكَ ثُمَّ اجْعَلْ عَلٰى كُلِّ جَبَلٍ مِّنْهُنَّ جُزْءًا ثُمَّ ادْعُهُنَّ يَأْتِيْنَكَ سَعْيًا ۗوَاعْلَمْ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ عَزِيْزٌحَكِيْمٌ ࣖ
Dan (ingatlah) ketika Ibrahim berkata, “Ya Tuhanku, perlihatkanlah kepadaku bagaimana Engkau menghidupkan orang mati.” Allah berfirman, “Belum percayakah engkau?” Dia (Ibrahim) menjawab, “Aku percaya, tetapi agar hatiku tenang (mantap).” Dia (Allah) berfirman, “Kalau begitu ambillah empat ekor burung, lalu cincanglah olehmu kemudian letakkan di atas masing-masing bukit satu bagian, kemudian panggillah mereka, niscaya mereka datang kepadamu dengan segera.” Ketahuilah bahwa Allah Mahaperkasa, Mahabijaksana.

(QS. Al-Baqarah ayat 260)
