Q. 1.1he raised what was in a thing and made it come out—بَحْثَرَ
he took, drew, or pulled a thing out and uncovered it, laying it open.
When what is in the graves is raised and made to come out—إِذَا بُعْثِرَ مَا فِى ٱلْقُبُورِ
Or the meaning is: when the dust, or earth, in the graves is turned over and the dead in them are raised. Or: when what is in the graves, of gold and silver, comes forth; after which the dead are to come forth.
