The Holy Quran 45:25 — Surah Al-Jathiyah

Arabic text

وَإِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِمْ ءَايَـٰتُنَا بَيِّنَـٰتٍ مَّا كَانَ حُجَّتَهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوا۟ ٱئْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ

Translation

When Our clear Aayaat are recited to them (proving resurrection to them), the only argument they can present is to say, "Bring forth our forefathers if you are truthful."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, when the verses of the Quran or the proofs of resurrection after death are recited to him, he says: “I will not accept any proof. If you are truthful in your claim, then bring our dead forefathers back to life and show us. Then we will acknowledge that coming back to life after death is indeed true.”
