The verses that contain many numbers in the Holy Qur'an include:

(Did you not see those who left their homes in their thousands, fearing death? Allah said to them, "Die," and then He brought them back to life.) [Al-Baqarah: 243]. (When you sought help from your Lord, He answered you, "Indeed, I will reinforce you with a thousand of the angels in ranks.") [Al-Anfal: 9]. (Indeed, I saw eleven stars and the sun and the moon; I saw them prostrating to me.) [Yusuf: 4]. (Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve months in the Register of Allah from the day He created the heavens and the earth.) [At-: 36]. (Indeed, this is my brother; he has ninety-nine ewes, and I have one ewe. So he said, "Entrust it to me," and he was forceful in speech.) [Saad: 23]. (If there are twenty of you, patient, they will overcome two hundred; and if there are one hundred of you, they will overcome a thousand of those who have disbelieved because they are a people who do not understand.) [Al-Anfal: 65]. (And there were in the city nine individuals who caused corruption in the land and did not reform.) [An-Naml: 48].
