تَرْجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ
TarjiAAoonah a in kuntum sa diqeen a
can you not cause that [ebbing life] to return - if what you claim is true?
  - Mohammad Asad
- restore to the dying person his soul? Answer this, if what you say be true!
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
bring that soul back, if what you say is true.
  - Mustafa Khattab
Do ye not force it back, if ye are truthful?
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Call back the soul if ye are true (in your claim of Independence)? 5266
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The sentence may now be briefly paraphrased. 'If you disbelieve in Revelation and a future Judgment, and claim to do what you like and be independent of Allah, how is it you cannot call back a dying man's soul to his body when all of you congregate round him at his death-bed? But you are not independent of Judgment. There is a Day of Account, when you will have to be judged by your deeds in this life.'
