Al-Kahf
مَا لَهُمۡ بِهٖ مِنۡ عِلۡمٍ وَّلَا لِاٰبَآئِهِمۡؕ كَبُرَتۡ كَلِمَةً تَخۡرُجُ مِنۡ اَفۡوَاهِهِمۡؕ اِنۡ يَّقُوۡلُوۡنَ 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
فَلَعَلَّكَ بَاخِعٌ نَّفۡسَكَ عَلٰ٘ي اٰثَارِهِمۡ اِنۡ لَّمۡ يُؤۡمِنُوۡا بِهٰذَا الۡحَدِيۡثِ 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
اِنَّا جَعَلۡنَا مَا عَلَي الۡاَرۡضِ زِيۡنَةً لَّهَا لِنَبۡلُوَهُمۡ اَيُّهُمۡ اَحۡسَنُ 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
وَاِنَّا لَجٰعِلُوۡنَ مَا عَلَيۡهَا صَعِيۡدًا جُرُزًاؕ
And indeed, We will make that which is upon it [into] a barren ground
اَمۡ حَسِبۡتَ اَنَّ اَصۡحٰبَ الۡكَهۡفِ وَالرَّقِيۡمِ كَانُوۡا مِنۡ اٰيٰتِنَا عَجَبًا
Or have you thought that the companions of the cave and the inscription were, among Our signs, a wonder
اِذۡ اَوَي الۡفِتۡيَةُ اِلَي الۡكَهۡفِ فَقَالُوۡا رَبَّنَا٘ اٰتِنَا مِنۡ لَّدُنۡكَ رَحۡمَةً وَّهَيِّئۡ لَنَا مِنۡ اَمۡرِنَا 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
فَضَرَبۡنَا عَلٰ٘ي اٰذَانِهِمۡ فِي الۡكَهۡفِ سِنِيۡنَ عَدَدًاۙ
So We cast [a cover of sleep] over their ears within the cave for a number of years
ثُمَّ بَعَثۡنٰهُمۡ لِنَعۡلَمَ اَيُّ الۡحِزۡبَيۡنِ اَحۡصٰي لِمَا لَبِثُوۡ٘ا 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
نَحۡنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيۡكَ نَبَاَهُمۡ بِالۡحَقِّؕ اِنَّهُمۡ فِتۡيَةٌ اٰمَنُوۡا بِرَبِّهِمۡ وَزِدۡنٰهُمۡ هُدًيࣗۖ
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
وَّرَبَطۡنَا عَلٰي قُلُوۡبِهِمۡ اِذۡ قَامُوۡا فَقَالُوۡا رَبُّنَا رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ لَنۡ نَّدۡعُوَا۠ مِنۡ دُوۡنِهٖ٘ اِلٰهًا لَّقَدۡ قُلۡنَا٘ 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
هٰ٘ؤُلَآءِ قَوۡمُنَا اتَّخَذُوۡا مِنۡ دُوۡنِهٖ٘ اٰلِهَةًؕ لَوۡلَا يَاۡتُوۡنَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ بِسُلۡطٰنٍۭ بَيِّنٍؕ فَمَنۡ اَظۡلَمُ مِمَّنِ افۡتَرٰي عَلَي 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
