The prophet who asked Allah to show him how He brings the dead to life was Ibrahim (Abraham).
The question appears in Qur’an 2:260. Ibrahim says, “My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead.” Allah asks whether he does not believe, and Ibrahim replies that he does believe but wants his heart reassured. Allah then instructs him to take four birds, place portions of them on separate hills, and call them; they come back swiftly by Allah’s command.
This episode is not presented as disbelief. In Islamic interpretation, Ibrahim’s request seeks greater certainty and direct understanding, rather than a first proof of Allah’s power. It follows nearby verses discussing resurrection and Allah’s ability to give life and cause death.
A common mix-up is confusing this account with the Qur’anic story immediately before it, in 2:259, where a man passes a ruined town and Allah causes him to die for 100 years before restoring him. That figure is not named in the verse, whereas Ibrahim is explicitly named in 2:260.
