18. Al-Kahf

الْكَهْفِ

مَا لَهُمْ بِهٖ مِنْ عِلْمٍ وَلَا لِاٰبَٓائِهِمْؕ كَبُرَتْ كَلِمَةً تَخْرُجُ مِنْ اَفْوَاهِهِمْؕ اِنْ یَقُولُونَ اِلَّا كَذِبًا

They have no knowledge of it, nor had their fathers. Grave is the word that comes out of their mouths; they speak not except a lie

Saheeh Intl

فَلَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَفْسَكَ عَلٰٓى اٰثَارِهِمْ اِنْ لَمْ یُؤْمِنُوا بِهٰذَا الْحَدٖیثِ اَسَفًا

Then perhaps you would kill yourself through grief over them, [O Muhammad], if they do not believe in this message, [and] out of sorrow

Saheeh Intl

اِنَّا جَعَلْنَا مَا عَلَى الْاَرْضِ زٖینَةً لَهَا لِنَبْلُوَهُمْ اَیُّهُمْ اَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا

Indeed, We have made that which is on the earth adornment for it that We may test them [as to] which of them is best in deed

Saheeh Intl

وَاِنَّا لَجَاعِلُونَ مَا عَلَیْهَا صَعٖیدًا جُرُزًاؕ

And indeed, We will make that which is upon it [into] a barren ground

Saheeh Intl

اَمْ حَسِبْتَ اَنَّ اَصْحَابَ الْكَهْفِ وَالرَّقٖیمِ كَانُوا مِنْ اٰیَاتِنَا عَجَبًا

Or have you thought that the companions of the cave and the inscription were, among Our signs, a wonder

Saheeh Intl

اِذْ اَوَى الْفِتْیَةُ اِلَى الْكَهْفِ فَقَالُوا رَبَّنَٓا اٰتِنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً وَهَیِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ اَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا

[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

Saheeh Intl

فَضَرَبْنَا عَلٰٓى اٰذَانِهِمْ فِی الْكَهْفِ سِنٖینَ عَدَدًاۙ

So We cast [a cover of sleep] over their ears within the cave for a number of years

Saheeh Intl

ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَاهُمْ لِنَعْلَمَ اَیُّ الْحِزْبَیْنِ اَحْصٰى لِمَا لَبِثُٓوا اَمَدًاࣖ

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

Saheeh Intl

نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَیْكَ نَبَاَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّؕ اِنَّهُمْ فِتْیَةٌ اٰمَنُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ وَزِدْنَاهُمْ هُدًىࣗ

It is We who relate to you, [O Muhammad], their story in truth. Indeed, they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance

Saheeh Intl

وَرَبَطْنَا عَلٰى قُلُوبِهِمْ اِذْ قَامُوا فَقَالُوا رَبُّنَا رَبُّ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ لَنْ نَدْعُوَ𐻾ا مِنْ دُونِهٖٓ اِلٰهًا لَقَدْ قُلْنَٓا اِذًا شَطَطًا

And We 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

Saheeh Intl

هٰٓؤُ𐻾لَٓاءِ قَوْمُنَا اتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِهٖٓ اٰلِهَةًؕ لَوْلَا یَاْتُونَ عَلَیْهِمْ بِسُلْطَانٍ بَیِّنٍؕ فَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًاؕ

These, our people, have taken besides Him deities. Why do they not bring for [worship of] them a clear authority? And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie
