13: We relate to you their story in truth: they were youths who believe in their Lord, an We advanced them in guidance.
17: You would have seen the sun, when it rose, declining to the right from the Cave, and when it set, turning away from them to the left, while they lay in the open space in the midst of the Cave. Such are among the Signs of Allah: he whom Allah guides is rightly guided; but he whom Allah leaves to stray, - for him will you find no protector to lead him to the right Way.
18: You would have deemed them awake, whilst they were asleep, and We turned them on their right and on their left sides: their dog stretching forth his two fore-legs on the threshold: if you had come up on to them, you would have certainly turned back from them in flight, and you would have certainly have been filled with terror of them.
19: Such, We raised them up, that they might question each other. Said one them, "How long have you stayed?" They said, "We have stayed a day, or part of a day." They said, "Allah knows best how long you have stayed here … Now send you then one of you with this money of yours to the town: let him find out which is the best food and bring some to you, that satisfy your hunger therewith: and let him behave with care and courtesy, and let him not inform anyone about you.
22: Say there were three, the dog being the fourth among them: say they were five, the dog being the sixth, - doubtfully guessing at the unknown; say they were seven, the dog being the eight. Say you: "My Lord knows best their number: It is few that know their." Enter not, therefore, into controversies concerning them, except on a matter that is clear, nor consult any of them about the sleepers.
Surah 18 - Al-Kaff
