Have they not seen have they not realised that is the deniers of resurrection that God Who created the heavens and the earth and Who was not wearied by their creation Who did not fail therein is able to give life to the dead? bi-qādirin is the predicate of anna ‘that’ the bi- having been added to it because the statement has the same force as the construction a-laysa’Llāhu bi-qādirin ‘Is God not able …?’. Yes indeed He is able to give life to the dead. Indeed He has is able to do all things.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Have they not seen) do the disbelievers of Mecca not know (that Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth and was not wearied by their creation, is Able to give life to the dead) for the resurrection? (Aye, He verily is Able to do all things) of giving life and inflicting death.
