2:243

اَلَمْ تَرَ اِلَى الَّذٖینَ خَرَجُوا مِنْ دِیَارِهِمْ وَهُمْ اُلُوفٌ حَذَرَ الْمَوْتِࣕ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ اللّٰهُ مُوتُوا ثُمَّ اَحْیَاهُمْؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یَشْكُرُونَ

Alam tara ila allatheena kharajoo min diyarihim wahum oloofun hathara almawti faqala lahumu Allahu mootoo thumma ahyahum inna Allaha lathoo fadlin AAala alnnasi walakinna akthara alnnasi la yashkuroona

Translations

Have you not considered those who left their homes in many thousands, fearing death? Allah said to them, "Die"; then He restored them to life. And Allah is full of bounty to the people, but most of the people do not show gratitude

Saheeh International

Bethink thee (O Muhammad) of those of old, who went forth from their habitations in their thousands, fearing death, and Allah said unto them: Die; and then He brought them back to life. Lo! Allah is a Lord of Kindness to mankind, but most of mankind give not thanks
