And you will see [26] the sun when it rises, moving away from their cave to the right, and when it sets, turning away from them on the left [27], while they are in the open space [28] of the cave.

Surah Name : Al-Kahf   Surah Number : 18   Ayat Number: 17

Ayah 18

وَتَحۡسَبُهُمۡ أَيۡقَاظٗا وَهُمۡ رُقُودٞۚ وَنُقَلِّبُهُمۡ ذَاتَ ٱلۡيَمِينِ وَذَاتَ ٱلشِّمَالِۖ وَكَلۡبُهُم بَٰسِطٞ ذِرَاعَيۡهِ بِٱلۡوَصِيدِۚ لَوِ ٱطَّلَعۡتَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ لَوَلَّيۡتَ مِنۡهُمۡ فِرَارٗا وَلَمُلِئۡتَ مِنۡهُمۡ رُعۡبٗا

18. And you might deem them awake while they are asleep [31], and We turn them about to the right and to the left [32], and their dog has stretched his forelegs at the threshold [33] of the cave.

Ayah 19

وَكَذَٰلِكَ بَعَثۡنَٰهُمۡ لِيَتَسَآءَلُواْ بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ قَالَ قَآئِلٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ كَمۡ لَبِثۡتُمۡۖ قَالُواْ لَبِثۡنَا يَوۡمًا أَوۡ بَعۡضَ يَوۡمٖۚ قَالُواْ رَبُّكُمۡ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثۡتُمۡ فَٱبۡعَثُوٓاْ أَحَدَكُم بِوَرِقِكُمۡ هَٰذِهِۦٓ إِلَى ٱلۡمَدِينَةِ فَلۡيَنظُرۡ أَيُّهَآ أَزۡكَىٰ طَعَامٗا فَلۡيَأۡتِكُم بِرِزۡقٖ مِّنۡهُ وَلۡيَتَلَطَّفۡ وَلَا يُشۡعِرَنَّ بِكُمۡ أَحَدًا

19. And likewise We did rouse them that they might question [36] one another. A spokesman among them said [37], “How long have you stayed here?” They replied, “We have stayed a day or part of a day [38].” They said, “Your Lord knows best how long you have stayed [39]. Now send one of you with this silver coin to the city [40] and let him find out which food is purer [41], and let him bring you provision from it and let him be cautious [43], and not let anyone know about you [43].

Surah Name : Al-Kahf   Surah Number : 18   Ayat Number: 20

Ayah 21

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَعۡثَرۡنَا عَلَيۡهِمۡ لِيَعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ وَعۡدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقّٞ وَأَنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَا رَيۡبَ فِيهَآ إِذۡ يَتَنَٰزَعُونَ بَيۡنَهُمۡ أَمۡرَهُمۡۖ فَقَالُواْ ٱبۡنُواْ عَلَيۡهِم بُنۡيَٰنٗاۖ رَّبُّهُمۡ أَعۡلَمُ بِهِمۡۚ قَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ غَلَبُواْ عَلَىٰٓ أَمۡرِهِمۡ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَيۡهِم مَّسۡجِدٗا

21. Likewise, We disclosed their case so that people may know that Allah's promise is true, and that there is no doubt about the Hour [45]. When they were disputing among themselves about their affair, they said, “Build a structure over them.” Their Lord knows best about them [46]. Those who prevailed over their matter said, “We will certainly build a mosque over them.” [47].

Surah Name : Al-Kahf   Surah Number : 18   Ayat Number: 21

Ayah 22

سَيَقُولُونَ ثَلَٰثَةٞ رَّابِعُهُمۡ كَلۡبُهُمۡ وَيَقُولُونَ خَمۡسَةٞ سَادِسُهُمۡ كَلۡبُهُمۡ رَجۡمَۢا بِٱلۡغَيۡبِۖ وَيَقُولُونَ سَبۡعَةٞ وَثَامِنُهُمۡ كَلۡبُهُمۡۚ قُل رَّبِّيٓ أَعۡلَمُ بِعِدَّتِهِم مَّا يَعۡلَمُهُمۡ إِلَّا قَلِيلٞۗ فَلَا تُمَارِ فِيهِمۡ إِلَّا مِرَآءٗ ظَٰهِرٗا وَلَا تَسۡتَفۡتِ فِيهِم مِّنۡهُمۡ أَحَدٗا

22. Now they will say, “They are three, the fourth of them is their dog.” [48] And some will say, “They are five, the sixth of them is their dog,” guessing without knowledge. [49] And some will say, “They are seven, and the eighth of them is their dog.” [50] Say, “My Lord knows their exact number; none knows them except a few.” [51] So do not argue about them except with clear arguments, [52] and do not inquire about them from anyone among the People of the Book. [53]

24. But, if Allah wills. [54] And remember your Lord when you forget, [55] and say, “It is likely that my Lord will guide me to something closer to guidance than this.” [56].

Surah Name : Al-Kahf   Surah Number : 18   Ayat Number: 24

وَلَبِثُواْ فِي كَهۡفِهِمۡ ثَلَٰثَ مِاْئَةٖ سِنِينَ وَٱزۡدَادُواْ تِسۡعٗا

25. And they stayed in their cave for three hundred years and exceeded by nine more. [57].

Surah Name : Al-Kahf   Surah Number : 18   Ayat Number: 25

Ayah 26

قُلِ ٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثُواْۖ لَهُۥ غَيۡبُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِۖ أَبۡصِرۡ بِهِۦ وَأَسۡمِعۡۚ مَا لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ مِن وَلِيّٖ وَلَا يُشۡرِكُ فِي حُكۡمِهِۦٓ أَحَدٗا

26. Say, “Allah knows best how long they stayed.” [58] To Him belongs the unseen of the heavens and the earth. How well He sees and how well He hears! [59] They have no protector besides Him, [60] and He associates no one in His command. [61].
