(Say) O Muhammad to Abu Jahl and his host: (Allah giveth life to you) in the grave, (then causeth you to die) in the grave, (then gathereth you unto the Day of Resurrection) it is also said that this means: Allah will cause you to die and then will gather you to the Day of Resurrection (whereof there is no doubt.
