In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.
22. It was said they were three, the dog being the fourth among them; it was said they were five, the dog being the sixth, doubtfully guessing at the unknown; it was said they were seven, the dog being the eighth. Say, "My Lord knows best their number, it is but few that know theirs." Enter not into controversies concerning them, except on a matter that is clear, nor consult any of them about the Sleepers.
22. Nor say of anything, "I shall be sure to do so and so tomorrow."
23. Without adding, "So please Allah." And call your Lord to mind when you forget and say, "I hope that my Lord will guide me ever closer than this to the right road."
25. So they stayed in their cave three hundred years, and add nine.
26. Say, "Allah knows best how long they stayed." With God are the secrets of the heavens and the earth. How clearly God sees, how finely God hears! They have no protector other than God, nor does God share God's command with any person whatsoever.
The Cave 18:22-26
