伊斯哈格·本·比沙尔转述，凭借伊本·阿拔斯及其他人的传述，以斯拉是一位圣洁且有智慧的人。他一天照例出去到自己的农庄。正午时分，他来到一处荒废的废墟，感到了炎热。他走进那座废弃的城镇，下了驴子，带着装在篮子里的无花果和葡萄。他走到海巴树的树荫下，吃起了自己的食物。

Ishaaq Ibn Bishr reported, on the authority of Ibn' Abbas and others, that Ezra was a saint and a wise man. He went out one day to his own farm, as was his custom. About noon he came to a deserted, ruined place and felt the heat. He entered the ruined town and dismounted his donkey, taking figs and grapes in his basket. He went under the shade of the khaiba tree and ate his food.

然后他起身去查看废墟的残存部分。那些人早已消亡，他看到了骸骨。

Then he got up to look at what remained of the ruins. The people had long been lost, and he saw bones.

"哦！安拉死后怎样使它复活呢？"（古兰经 2:259）

"Oh! How will Allah ever bring it to life after its death?" (Ch 2:259 Quran)

他说这话并非出于怀疑，而是出于好奇。安拉派遣死亡天使来取他的性命。

He said this not out of doubt but out of curiosity. Allah sent the Angel of Death to take his life.

他死了一百年。

He remained dead for one hundred years.

过了一百年，以色列人的事务发生了许多变化之后，真主派遣一位天使降临到以斯拉身上，使他的心和眼睛重新恢复生机，以便他亲身感受并看到真主如何使死者复活。天使问道："你睡了多久？"他回答说："一天，或者不到一天。"他这样说，是因为他知道自己是在午后早些时候睡下的，醒来时已是傍晚。

After one hundred years had passed and there had been changes in Israelite affairs, Allah sent an angel upon Ezra to revive his heart and his eyes in order for him to feel and see how Allah revives the dead. The angel said: "For how long did you sleep?" He said: "A day or part of a day." He said this because he knew he had slept early in the afternoon and woke up late in the afternoon.

天使说："你睡了一百年。"他吃了喝了他在那漫长的沉睡降临之前所准备的食物。然后，天使使他的驴复活了。

The angel said: "You remained asleep for one hundred years." He ate and drank the food which he had prepared before he was overtaken by that long sleep. Then the angel revived his donkey.

全能的真主说：

Almighty Allah said:

“看看你的驴子！我们这样使你成为世人的一个迹象。你看那些骸骨，我们如何把它们聚拢，再给它们披上血肉。”当这一切清楚地呈现在他面前时，他说：“我现在知道，真主对万事都有能力。”（2:259）

"And look at your donkey! Thus We have made of you a sign for the people. Look at the bones, how We bring them together and clothe them with flesh." When this was clearly shown to him he said: "I know now that Allah is able to do all things." (Ch 2:259)

他骑着驴进入了自己的故乡,但人们都没有认出他,他的家人也没有认出他,只有那个女仆认出了他,她如今已是个老妇人。他问她:"这是以斯拉的房子吗?"她说:"是的,但人们早已忘记了以斯拉。"他说:"我就是以斯拉,安拉让我死去了一百年,现在又把生命还给了我。"她说:"以斯拉祈祷时,安拉总是应允他。如果你真是以斯拉,就为我祈祷,治好我的失明吧。"他为她祈祷,抚摸她的眼睛,并拉着她的手。"凭安拉的大能,站起来吧,"他说。这位瘸腿的妇人站了起来并走了起来;她睁开了眼睛,看见了东西;她的失明好了。她说:"我作证,你就是以斯拉。"

He rode on his donkey and entered his native place, but the people did not recognize him, nor did his household, except the maid, now an old woman. He asked her: "Is this the house of Ezra?" She said: "Yes, but the people have long forgotten Ezra." He said: "I am Ezra, Allah had taken my life for a one hundred years and has now returned it to me." She said: "Ezra used to be answered when he prayed to Allah. Pray to cure me of blindness if you are Ezra." He prayed for her and massaged her eyes and took her by the hand. "Get up by the power of Allah," he said. The crippled woman stood up and walked; she opened her eyes and saw; her blindness was gone. She said: "I bear witness that you are Ezra."

她急忙赶到以色列人的集会处。以斯拉的儿子已有一百一十八岁,而他的子孙们如今已是集会中的显要人物。她向他们呼喊道:"以斯拉来到你们这里了。"他们指责她撒谎。她说:"我是你们年老的仆妇。他刚刚为我向真主祈祷,我现在已经痊愈,能够行走,也能看见了。"众人站起身来望着他。他的儿子说:"我父亲的两肩之间有一颗记号,一颗黑痣。"人们便查看,果然发现了。他们说:"自从尼布甲尼撒焚毁了《讨拉特》以后,我们中间没有人能背诵《讨拉特》,只有以斯拉例外;而《讨拉特》只有一份抄本,是萨鲁哈把它藏了起来。他在尼布甲尼撒时代把它埋在一个只有以斯拉知道的地方。"以斯拉带领众人来到那处隐藏之地,取出了那份《讨拉特》抄本。它的纸页已经腐烂,书本也已皱缩。

She rushed to the assembly of the Israelites. Ezra's son was one hundred eighteen years old, and his children 's children now were lords of the assembly. She called out to them saying: "This is Ezra come to you." They accused her of lying. She said: "I am your old maid. He has just prayed to Allah for me, and here I am whole again, walking and seeing." The people stood up and looked at him. His son said: "My father had a mark between his shoulders, a black mole," and they discovered it. They said: "None among us memorized the Torah since Nabuchadnezzar burned it, except Ezra; and there was only one copy of the Torah, which was hidden by Sarukha. He buried it in the days of Nabuchadnezzar in a place none but Ezra knows." Ezra led the people to the hidden place and took out that copy of the Torah. Its leaves had rotted, and the book itself crumpled.

以斯拉坐在一棵树的荫下,周围围着以色列的子孙,他从那种文字中为他们抄写了《讨拉》。此后,犹太人说以斯拉是安拉的儿子,理由有两点:两项从天上降下的证据,以及他抄写《讨拉》和为以色列人的事业而奋战。他曾在以西结的隐修处,于黑暗之地为以西结抄写《讨拉》。据说那座已成废墟的村庄就是赛拉巴德。

Ezra sat under the shade of a tree surrounded by the children of Israel and copied out the Torah for them from that script. Henceforth, the Jews said that Ezra is the son of Allah, for two evidences which came down from Heaven and for his copying the torah and for his fighting the cause of the Israelites.He had been copying the Torah for Ezekial in the land of darkness in the hermitage of Ezekiel. The village which was in ruins is said to be Sayrabadh.

伊本·阿拔斯命令说:"正如安拉所说:"

Ibn Abbas commanded: "So it is as Allah said:

"我已使你成为众人的一个迹象。"（第2章第259节）

"We have made of you a sign for the people." (Ch 2:259)

也就是说，对于以色列人而言，这是因为他坐在自己的孩子们中间，那些老人，而他却是一个年轻人。

That is, for the Israelites, in that he was sitting among his children, the old men, and he a youth.

他享年四十岁，安拉在他去世之日又以同样的年龄将他复活。

He died as a forty year old, and Allah resurrected him at the same age on the day of his death."
