Surah Al-Ahqaf
But one who says to his parents, "Uff to you; do you promise me that I will be brought forth [from the earth] when generations before me have already passed on [into oblivion]?" while they call to Allah for help [and to their son], "Woe to you! Believe! Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth." But he says, "This is not but legends of the former people" -﴿17﴾

Simplified Tafsir
والذي قال لوالديه إذ دعواه إلى الإيمان بالله والإقرار بالبعث: قبحًا لكما أتعِدانني أن أُخْرج من قبري حيًا، وقد مضت القرون من الأمم من قبلي، فهلكوا فلم يُبعث منهم أحد؟ ووالداه يسألان الله هدايته قائلَين له: ويلك، آمن وصدِّق واعمل صالحًا، إن وعد الله بالبعث حق لا شك فيه، فيقول لهما: ما هذا الذي تقولانه إلا ما سطَّره الأولون من الأباطيل، منقول من كتبهم.
