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

Wa kazaalika a'sarnaa 'alaihim liya'lamooo anna wa'dal laahi haqqunw wa annas Saa'ata laa raiba feehaa iz yatanaaza'oona bainahum amrahum faqaalub noo 'alaihim bunyaanaa; Rabbuhum a'lamu bihim; qaalal lazeena ghalaboo 'alaaa amrihim lanat takhizanna 'alaihim masjidaa
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].

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.
