Enlivening of dead by Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.)

In the tradition of debate of Imam Ali Reza (a.s.) with Jews, Christians scholars, and others, His Eminence said:

“Some Quraish persons came to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and requested him to enliven the dead for them. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) ordered Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) to go with them and said:

‘O Ali, go with them to the graveyard and mention the names they request to be revived and say: O so and so, and so and so and so and so, Muhammad, messenger of Allah tells you: Come alive and arise by the permission of God. So he went there and said in this way and they rose up cleaning dust from their heads. At that time the Quraish posed questions to the dead that were revived.
