Pearl of Wisdom

when a Christian scholar asked him about a man who copulated with his wife and she became pregnant with two, both in one hour, and she gave birth to both in one hour, and they both died in one hour, and they were both buried in one grave, but one lived for one hundred and fifty years and the other lived for fifty years who were they? He replied, Uzair and 'Uzra. Their mother was pregnant with them as you have described, and she gave birth as you described, and 'Uzair and 'Uzra lived for so and so years. Allah then made 'Uzair die for one hundred years, then he was revived and lived with 'Uzra for fifty years. Then they both died together at one time.'
