English Translation
Ibn Mas'ud said regarding the verse 'Our Lord, You caused us to die twice and gave us life twice': "It is like the one in Surah al-Baqarah: 'You were dead and He brought you to life; then He will cause you to die, then He will bring you to life, and then to Him you will be returned.'"
