1 Surahs5 Versesركوع 254
18:18
وَتَحۡسَبُهُمۡ
And you (would) think them
أَيۡقَاظًا
awake
while they
رُقُودٌۚ
(were) asleep
And We turned them
ذَاتَ
to
the right
وَذَاتَ
and to
the left
وَكَلۡبُهُم
while their dog
stretched
his two forelegs
بِٱ لۡوَصِيدِۚ
at the entrance
لَوِ
If
you had looked
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
at them
لَوَلَّيۡتَ
you (would) have surely turned back
مِنۡهُمۡ
from them
فِرَارًا
(in) flight
and surely you would have been filled
مِنۡهُمۡ
by them
رُعۡبًا
١٨(with) terror
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
And similarly
بَعَثۡنَـٰ هُمۡ
We raised them
لِيَتَسَا ٓءَلُواۡ
that they might question
بَيۡنَهُمۡۚ
among them
قَالَ
Said
قَا ٓئِلٌ
a speaker
among them
كَمۡ
How long
لَبِثۡتُمۡۖ
have you remained
قَالُواۡ
They said
لَبِثۡنَا
We have remained
يَوۡمًا
a day
أَوۡ
or
بَعۡضَ
a part
يَوۡمٍۚ
(of) a day
They said
رَبُّكُمۡ
Your Lord
أَعۡلَمُ
knows best
بِمَا
how long
لَبِثۡتُمۡ
you have remained
فَٱ بۡ عَثُوٓ اۡ
So send
أَحَدَكُم
one of you
with this silver coin of yours
هَـٰ ذِهِۦٓ
with this silver coin of yours
إِلَى
to
the city
فَلۡيَنظ ُرۡ
and let him see
أَيُّهَآ
which is
أَزۡكَىٰ
the purest
طَعَامًا
food
and let him bring to you
provision
from it
وَلۡيَتَلَطَّفۡ
and let him be cautious
وَلَا
And let not be aware
يُشۡعِرَنّ َ
And let not be aware
بِكُمۡ
about you
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
إِنّ َهُمۡ
Indeed, [they]
إِن
if
they come to know
عَلَيۡكُمۡ
about you
يَرۡجُمُوكُمۡ
they will stone you
أَوۡ
or
يُعِيدُوكُمۡ
return you
فِى
to
مِلَّتِهِمۡ
their religion
وَلَن
And never
will you succeed
إِذًا
then
أَبَدًا
٢٠ever
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
And similarly
أَعۡثَرۡنَا
We made known
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
about them
لِيَعۡلَمُوٓ اۡ
that they might know
أَنّ َ
that
وَعۡدَ
(the) Promise
(of) Allah
حَقٌّ
(is) true
and that
(about) the Hour
لَا
(there is) no
رَيۡبَ
doubt
فِيهَآ
in it
إِذۡ
When
يَتَنَـٰ زَعُونَ
they disputed
بَيۡنَهُمۡ
among themselves
أَمۡرَهُمۡۖ
about their affair
فَقَالُواۡ
and they said
Construct
عَلَيۡهِم
over them
a structure
Their Lord
أَعۡلَمُ
knows best
بِهِمۡۚ
about them
قَالَ
Said
those who
غَلَبُواۡ
prevailed
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
18:22
سَيَقُولُونَ
They say
ثَلَـٰ ثَةٌ
(they were) three
the forth of them
كَلۡبُهُمۡ
their dog
وَيَقُولُونَ
and they say
خَمۡسَةٌ
(they were) five
the sixth of them
كَلۡبُهُمۡ
their dog
رَجۡ مَۢا
guessing
about the unseen
وَيَقُولُونَ
and they say
سَبۡ عَةٌ
(they were) seven
and the eight of them
كَلۡبُهُمۡۚ
their dog
قُل
Say
رَّبِّىٓ
My Lord
أَعۡلَمُ
knows best
بِعِدَّتِهِم
their number
None
يَعۡلَمُهُمۡ
knows them
إِلَّا
except
قَلِيلٌۗ
a few
So (do) not
تُمَارِ
argue
فِيهِمۡ
about them
إِلَّا
except
مِرَا ٓءً
(with) an argument
obvious
and (do) not
تَسۡتَفۡتِ
inquire
فِيهِم
about them
among them
أَحَدًا
٢٢(from) anyone
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."
