قَادِرٌ
(is) Able
عَلَىٰٓ
[on]
أَن

وَجَعَلَ
And He has made
لَهُمۡ
for them
أَجَلاً

no
رَيۡبَ
doubt
فِيهِ
in it
فَأَبَى
But refused
the wrongdoers
إِلَّا
except
كُفُورًا
٩٩disbelief
Do they not see that Allāh, who created the heavens and earth, is [the one] Able to create the likes of them? And He has appointed for them a term, about which there is no doubt. But the wrongdoers refuse except disbelief.
17:100

then
surely you would withhold
خَشۡيَةَ
(out of) fear
(of) spending
وَكَانَ
And is
man
قَتُورًا
١٠٠stingy
Say [to them], "If you possessed the depositories of the mercy of my Lord, then you would withhold out of fear of spending." And ever has man been stingy.
17:101
وَلَقَدۡ
And certainly
ءَاتَيۡنَا
We had given
مُوسَىٰ
Musa
تِسۡعَ
nine

Signs

so ask
بَنِىٓ
(the) Children of Israel
إِسۡرٰ ٓءِيلَ
(the) Children of Israel
إِذۡ
when
جَا ٓءَهُمۡ
he came to them
فَقَالَ
then said
لَهُۥ
to him
فِرۡعَوۡنُ
Firaun
إِنّ ِى
Indeed, I
لَأَظُنّ ُكَ
[I] think you
يَـٰ مُوسَىٰ
O Musa
مَسۡحُورًا
١٠١(you are) bewitched
And We had certainly given Moses nine evident signs, so ask the Children of Israel [about] when he came to them and Pharaoh said to him, "Indeed I think, O Moses, that you are affected by magic."
17:102
قَالَ
He said
لَقَدۡ
Verily
عَلِمۡتَ

وَإِنّ ِى
and indeed, I
لَأَظُنّ ُكَ
[I] surely think you
يَـٰ فِرۡعَوۡنُ
O Firaun
مَثۡبُورًا
١٠٢(you are) destroyed
[Moses] said, "You have already known that none has sent down these [signs] except the Lord of the heavens and the earth as evidence, and indeed I think,1 O Pharaoh, that you are destroyed."
17:103
فَأَرَادَ
So he intended
أَن
to
drive them out
from
the land
فَأَغۡرَقۡ نَـٰ هُ
but We drowned him
وَمَن

(were) with him
جَمِيعًا
١٠٣all
So he intended to drive them from the land, but We drowned him and those with him all together.
17:104

وَعۡدُ
(the) promise
(of) the Hereafter
جِئۡنَا
We will bring
بِكُمۡ

لَفِيفًا
١٠٤(as) a mixed crowd
And We said after him [i.e., Pharaoh] to the Children of Israel, "Dwell in the land, and when there comes the promise [i.e., appointment] of the Hereafter, We will bring you forth in [one] gathering."
17:105
وَبِٱ لۡحَقِّ
And with the truth
أَنز َلۡنَـٰ هُ
We sent it down
وَبِٱ لۡحَقِّ
and with the truth
نَزَلَۗ
it descended
وَمَآ
And not
أَرۡسَلۡنَـٰ كَ
We sent you
إِلَّا
except
مُبَشِّرًا
(as) a bearer of glad tidings
and a warner
And with the truth We have sent it [i.e., the Qur’ān] down, and with the truth it has descended. And We have not sent you, [O Muḥammad], except as a bringer of good tidings and a warner.
17:106
وَقُرۡءَانًا
And the Quran
We have divided
لِتَقۡ رَأَهُۥ
that you might recite it
عَلَى
to
the people
عَلَىٰ
at
مُكۡثٍ
intervals
And We have revealed it
تَنز ِيلاً
١٠٦(in) stages
And [it is] a Qur’ān which We have separated [by intervals] that you might recite it to the people over a prolonged period. And We have sent it down progressively.

٩a wonder
Or have you thought that the companions of the cave and the inscription were, among Our signs, a wonder?1
18:10
إِذۡ
When
أَوَى
retreated
the youths
إِلَى
to
the cave
فَقَالُواۡ
and they said

Grant us

رَحۡمَةً
Mercy
and facilitate
لَنَا
for us

أَمۡرِنَا
our affair
رَشَدًا
١٠(in the) right way
[Mention] when the youths retreated to the cave and said, "Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance."
18:11
فَضَرَبۡ نَا
So We cast
عَلَىٰٓ
over
ءَاذَانِهِمۡ
their ears
فِى
in
the cave
سِنِينَ
years
عَدَدًا
١١a number
So We cast [a cover of sleep] over their ears within the cave for a number of years.
18:12
ثُمّ َ
Then
بَعَثۡنَـٰ هُمۡ
We raised them up
لِنَعۡلَمَ
that We make evident
أَىُّ
which
(of) the two parties
أَحۡصَىٰ
best calculated
لِمَا
for what
لَبِثُوٓ اۡ
(they had) remained
أَمَدًا
١٢(in) time
Then We awakened them that We might show which of the two factions was most precise in calculating what [extent] they had remained in time.
18:13
نَّحۡنُ
We
نَقُصُّ
narrate
عَلَيۡكَ
to you
نَبَأَهُم
their story

إِنّ َهُمۡ
Indeed, they (were)

who believed

and We increased them
هُدًى
١٣(in) guidance
It is We who relate to you, [O Muḥammad], their story in truth. Indeed, they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.
18:14
وَرَبَطۡ نَا
And We made firm
عَلَىٰ
[on]
قُلُوبِهِمۡ
their hearts
إِذۡ
when
قَامُواۡ
they stood up
فَقَالُواۡ
and said
رَبُّنَا

Never
we will invoke
مِن
besides Him
besides Him
إِلَـٰ هًاۖ
any god
Certainly
قُلۡنَآ
we would have said
إِذًا
then
an enormity
And We bound [i.e., made firm] their hearts when they stood up and said, "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. Never will we invoke besides Him any deity. We would have certainly spoken, then, an excessive transgression.
18:15
هَـٰٓ ؤُلَا ٓءِ
These
قَوۡمُنَا
our people
have taken

(is) more wrong
مِمّ َنِ
than (one) who
invents
عَلَى
against
Allah
كَذِبًا
١٥a lie
These, our people, have taken besides Him deities. Why do they not bring for [worship of] them a clear evidence? And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allāh a lie?"
18:16
وَإِذِ
And when
you withdraw from them
وَمَا
and what
يَعۡبُدُونَ
they worship
إِلَّا
except
Allah
فَأۡوُۥٓاۡ
then retreat
إِلَى
to
the cave
يَنش ُرۡ
Will spread
لَكُمۡ

رَبُّكُم
your Lord
of
His Mercy
وَيُهَيِّئۡ

أَمۡرِكُم
your affair
(in) ease
[The youths said to one another], "And when you have withdrawn from them and that which they worship other than Allāh, retreat to the cave. Your Lord will spread out for you of His mercy and will prepare for you from your affair facility."
18:17
۞وَتَرَى
And you (might) have seen
the sun
إِذَا
when
طَلَعَت
it rose
تَّزٰ وَرُ
inclining away

from
their cave
ذَاتَ
to
the right
وَإِذَا
and when
غَرَبَت
it set

Allah guides

(is) the guided one
وَمَن
and whoever
He lets go astray
فَلَن
then never
you will find

a protector
a guide
And [had you been present], you would see the sun when it rose, inclining away from their cave on the right, and when it set, passing away from them on the left, while they were [lying] within an open space thereof. That was from the signs of Allāh. He whom Allāh guides is the [rightly] guided, but he whom He sends astray - never will you find for him a protecting guide.
18:18
وَتَحۡسَبُهُمۡ
And you (would) think them
أَيۡقَاظًا

And We turned them

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 forelegs at the entrance. If you had looked at them, you would have turned from them in flight and been filled by them with terror.
18:19
وَكَذٰ لِكَ
And similarly
بَعَثۡنَـٰ هُمۡ
We raised them
لِيَتَسَا ٓءَلُواۡ
that they might question

Said

How long
لَبِثۡتُمۡۖ

They said
لَبِثۡنَا
We have remained
يَوۡمًا
a day
أَوۡ
or
بَعۡضَ
a part
يَوۡمٍۚ
(of) a day
They said
رَبُّكُمۡ
Your Lord

فَٱ بۡ عَثُوٓ اۡ
So send

one of you
with this silver coin of yours
هَـٰ ذِهِۦٓ

and let him be cautious
وَلَا
And let not be aware

And let not be aware

أَحَدًا
١٩anyone
And similarly,1 We awakened them that they might question one another. Said a speaker from among them, "How long have you remained [here]?" They said, "We have remained a day or part of a day." They said, "Your Lord is most knowing of how long you remained. So send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the city and let him look to which is the best of food and bring you provision from it and let him be cautious. And let no one be aware of you.
18:20

Indeed, if they come to know of you, they will stone you or return you to their religion. And never would you succeed, then - ever."
18:21
وَكَذٰ لِكَ
And similarly
أَعۡثَرۡنَا
We made known
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
about them
لِيَعۡلَمُوٓ اۡ

When
يَتَنَـٰ زَعُونَ
they disputed
بَيۡنَهُمۡ
among themselves
أَمۡرَهُمۡۖ
about their affair
فَقَالُواۡ
and they said
Construct

Said
those who

عَلَىٰٓ
in
أَمۡرِهِمۡ
their matter
لَنَتَّخِذَنّ َ
Surely we will take
عَلَيۡهِم
over them
a place of worship
And similarly, We caused them to be found that they [who found them] would know that the promise of Allāh is truth and that of the Hour there is no doubt. [That was] when they1 disputed among themselves about their affair and [then] said, "Construct over them a structure. Their Lord is most knowing about them." Said those who prevailed in the matter, "We will surely take [for ourselves] over them a masjid."2

They [i.e., people] will say there were three, the fourth of them being their dog; and they will say there were five, the sixth of them being their dog - guessing at the unseen; and they will say there were seven, and the eighth of them was their dog. Say, [O Muḥammad], "My Lord is most knowing of their number. None knows them except a few. So do not argue about them except with an obvious argument1 and do not inquire about them among [the speculators] from anyone."
18:23

And keep yourself patient [by being] with those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening, seeking His face [i.e., acceptance]. And let not your eyes pass beyond them, desiring adornments of the worldly life, and do not obey one whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance and who follows his desire and whose affair is ever [in] neglect.1
