And when

you withdraw from them

and what

they worship

except

Allah

then retreat

to

the cave

Will spread

for you

your Lord

of

His Mercy

and will facilitate

for you

[from]

your affair

(in) ease

And you (might) have seen

the sun

when

it rose

inclining away

from

their cave

to

the right

and when

it set

passing away from them

to

the left

while they

(lay) in

the open space

thereof

That

(was) from

(the) Signs

(of) Allah

Whoever

Allah guides

Allah guides

and he

(is) the guided one

and whoever

He lets go astray

then never

you will find

for him

a protector

a guide

And you (would) think them

awake

while they

(were) asleep

And We turned them

to

the right

and to

the left

while their dog

stretched

his two forelegs

at the entrance

If

you had looked

at them

you (would) have surely turned back

from them

(in) flight

and surely you would have been filled

by them

(with) terror

And similarly

We raised them

that they might question

among them

Said

a speaker

among them

How long

have you remained

They said

We have remained

a day

or

a part

(of) a day

They said

Your Lord

knows best

how long

you have remained

So send

one of you

with this silver coin of yours

with this silver coin of yours

to

the city

and let him see

which is

the purest

food

and let him bring to you

provision

from it

and let him be cautious

And let not be aware

And let not be aware

about you

anyone

Indeed, [they]

if

they come to know

about you

they will stone you

or

return you

to

their religion

And never

will you succeed

then

ever
