Surah An-Nahl (16:70)

وَاللّٰهُ خَلَقَكُمۡ ثُمَّ يَتَوَفّٰٮكُمۡۙ وَمِنۡكُمۡ مَّنۡ يُّرَدُّ اِلٰٓى اَرۡذَلِ الۡعُمُرِ لِكَىۡ لَا يَعۡلَمَ بَعۡدَ عِلۡمٍ شَيۡــًٔاؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلِيۡمٌ قَدِيۡرٌ‏ ۝

Wallahu khalaqakum thummayatawaffakum waminkum man yuraddu ila arthalialAAumuri likay la yaAAlama baAAda AAilmin shay-an innaAllaha AAaleemun qadeer

And Allāh created you; then He will take you in death. And among you is he who is reversed to the most decrepit old age so that he will not know, after having had knowledge, a thing. Indeed, Allāh is Knowing and Competent.
