وَتَحْسَبُهُمْ أَيْقَاظًا وَهُمْ رُقُودٌ ۚ وَنُقَلِّبُهُمْ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ وَذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ ۖ وَكَلْبُهُمْ بَاسِطٌ ذِرَاعَيْهِ بِالْوَصِيدِ ۚ لَوِ اطَّلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَوَلَّيْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِرَارًا وَلَمُلِئْتَ مِنْهُمْ رُعْبًا

আৰু তুমি ভাৱিলাহেঁতেন সিহঁত সাৰে আছে, অথচ সিহঁত আছিল টোপনিত। আমি সিহঁতক কাতি সলাই দিছিলো সোঁফালে আৰু বাওঁফালে আৰু সিহঁতৰ কুকুৰটোৱে সন্মুখৰ ভৰি দুখন গুহাৰ দুৱাৰত প্ৰসাৰিত কৰি আছিল। যদি তুমি সিহঁতৰ ফালে ভুমুকি মাৰি দেখিলাহেঁতেন, তেন্তে অৱশ্যে তুমি ভিৰাই লৰ মাৰিলাহেঁতেন। অৱশ্যে তুমি সিহঁতৰ ভয়ত আতংকগ্ৰস্ত হৈ পৰিলাহেঁতেন;

📍Verse:

18:18 You would have thought that they were awake, even when they slept. (They remained alert round the clock.) We made them change their positions right and left, frequently. They had a faithful dog to guard the entrance, with its four paws outstretched (ready to pounce). The whole environment was awe-inspiring. Had you come upon them suddenly, you would have fled away from them in awe(sa).

🟩১৮:১৯

وَكَذَٰلِكَ بَعَثْنَاهُمْ لِيَتَسَاءَلُوا بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ قَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْهُمْ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ ۖ قَالُوا لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ ۚ قَالُوا رَبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثْتُمْ فَابْعَثُوا أَحَدَكُمْ بِوَرِقِكُمْ هَٰذِهِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ أَيُّهَا أَزْكَىٰ طَعَامًا فَلْيَأْتِكُمْ بِرِزْقٍ مِنْهُ وَلْيَتَلَطَّفْ وَلَا يُشْعِرَنَّ بِكُمْ أَحَدًا

আৰু এইদৰেই আমি সিহঁতক জগাই তুলিলো যাতে সিহঁতে পৰস্পৰৰ মাজত সোধ-পোছ কৰে। সিহঁতৰ এজনে ক’লে, ‘তোমালোকে কিমান সময় অৱস্থান কৰিছা’? সিহঁতে ক’লে, ‘আমি এদিন বা এদিনৰ কিছু অংশহে অৱস্থান কৰিছো’। সিহঁতে ক’লে, ‘তোমালোকে কিমান সময় অৱস্থান কৰিছা সেয়া তোমালোকৰ প্ৰতিপালকেই ভালদৰে জানে। এতেকে তোমালোকে এতিয়া তোমালোকৰ মাজৰ পৰা এজনক এই মুদ্ৰাসহ বজাৰলৈ পঠাই দিয়া। সি যেন ভালকৈ চাই-চিতি কোনটো উত্তম খাদ্য তাৰ পৰা যেন তোমালোকৰ বাবে কিছু খাদ্য লৈ আহে। লগতে সি যেন বিচক্ষণতাৰ সৈতে কাম কৰে। কোনোমতেই যাতে তোমালোকৰ বিষয়ে কাকো একো জানিব নিদিয়ে।

🟩১৮:২০

إِنَّهُمْ إِنْ يَظْهَرُوا عَلَيْكُمْ يَرْجُمُوكُمْ أَوْ يُعِيدُوكُمْ فِي مِلَّتِهِمْ وَلَنْ تُفْلِحُوا إِذًا أَبَدًا

নিশ্চয় সিহঁতে যদি তোমালোকৰ বিষয়ে জানিব পাৰে তেন্তে সিহঁতে তোমালোকক শিল দলিয়াই আঘাত কৰি হত্যা কৰিব অথবা তোমালোকক সিহঁতৰ ধৰ্মত ওভোতাই নিব। তেতিয়া তোমালোকে কেতিয়াও সফল হ’ব নোৱাৰিবা।

📍Verse/Note:

18:20 for, behold, if they should come to know of you, they might stone you to death or force you back to their faith-in which case you would never attain to any good!"

Note.

During their "sleep", time had stood still for the Men of the Cave, and so they assumed that the outside world had remained unchanged and was, as before, hostile to them. - At this point, the story as such ends abruptly (for, as we know, the Qur'an is never concerned with narratives for their own sake) and is revealed in the sequence as an allegory of death and resurrection and of the relativity of "time" as manifested in man's consciousness(as).

.

📍Note:

Stoning as a punishment is not decreed in the Quran. In the Quran stoning is only carried out 

by mushrikeen, disbelievers and those who reject this guidance. See verse 11:91(sig).

(১১:৯১

قَالُوا يَا شُعَيْبُ مَا نَفْقَهُ كَثِيرًا مِمَّا تَقُولُ وَإِنَّا لَنَرَاكَ فِينَا ضَعِيفًا ۖ وَلَوْلَا رَهْطُكَ لَرَجَمْنَاكَ ۖ وَمَا أَنْتَ عَلَيْنَا بِعَزِيزٍ

সিহঁতে ক’লে, ‘হে ছুআইব! তুমি যি কোৱা তাৰে বহু কথা আমি বুজি নাপাওঁ, আৰু আমি তোমাক আমাৰ মাজত দুৰ্বল বুলিহে গম পাওঁ। তোমাৰ আত্মীয়-স্বজন নাথাকিলে আমি তোমাক শিলগুটি দলিয়াই মাৰি পেলালোহেঁতেন। কাৰণ তুমি আমাতকৈ বেছি শক্তিশালী নহয়’।)

🟩১৮:২১

وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَعْثَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَأَنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهَا إِذْ يَتَنَازَعُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَمْرَهُمْ ۖ فَقَالُوا ابْنُوا عَلَيْهِمْ بُنْيَانًا ۖ رَبُّهُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِهِمْ ۚ قَالَ الَّذِينَ غَلَبُوا عَلَىٰ أَمْرِهِمْ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مَسْجِدًا

আৰু এইদৰে আমি মানুহক সিহঁতৰ বিষয়ে জনাই দিলো যাতে সিহঁতে জানে যে, আল্লাহৰ প্ৰতিশ্ৰুতি সত্য আৰু নিশ্চয় কিয়ামতত কোনো সন্দেহ নাই। যেতিয়া সিহঁতে (নগৰবাসীয়ে) সিহঁতৰ কৰ্তব্যৰ বিষয়ে নিজৰ মাজতে বিতৰ্ক কৰিছিল তেতিয়া সিহঁতৰ কিছুমানে ক’লে, ‘সিহঁতৰ ওপৰত সৌধ নিৰ্মাণ কৰা’। সিহঁতৰ প্ৰতিপালকেই সিহঁতৰ বিষয়ে ভালদৰে জানে। সিহঁতৰ কৰ্তব্যৰ বিষয়ে যিসকলৰ মত প্ৰবল হৈছিল সিহঁতে ক’লে, ‘নিশ্চয় আমি সিহঁতৰ ওপৰত মছজিদ নিৰ্মাণ কৰিম’।

📍Verse/Note:

18:22 Then, some would say they were three, and their dog was the fourth, and some would say five, and their dog the sixth. They only made wild guesses, and some of them said that they were seven and their dog was the eighth. Say, "My Lord is best Aware of their number.” There are some who know🌀 their right number but, do not argue about them except a passing comment. You need not consult anyone about them (to avoid undue controversies)(sa).

Note🌀

*The last statement that they were seven and their dog was the eighth, is not denied by the Qur’an. Those who get this point probably know their number.

.

📍Note: Are dogs the untouchables? It seems that dogs have really been put in the doghouse by 

traditionalists, despite the fact the Quran designates their role as companions and co-hunters. In 

this history of the young men who took refuge in the cave, their dog shared a place sleeping 

amidst them. The dog was clearly a friend to the boys otherwise why would it be there? 

Furthermore in sura verse 5:4 God permits people to eat the animals hunted and caught by their 

trained dogs. Apparently like most of the deviant beliefs the repulsion for dogs comes from the fabricated hadith wrongly attributed to the good messenger. Dogs as hunters and pets add value 

to human life and should be welcomed(SIG)

।।।

WORD BY WORD MEANING:

[18:18] And (Wa) you would consider them (Tah'sabu-hum) awake (Ai'qaazoan), while (Wa) they (Hum)

were asleep (Ruquudun). And (Wa) We rotated them (Nuqallibu-hum) to (Zaata) the right side (El'Yamiini)

and to (Zaata) the left side (Es'Shimaal'), while (Wa) their dog (Kal'bu-hum) spread (Baasitun) its arms 

(Ziraa'åi'hi) at the doorstep (Bil' Wasiidi). If (Lawi) you had suddenly came across them (Ettola'ta Ålai'him’), 

you (s) would have (La) turned away (Wallai'ta) from them (Min'hum) in escape (Firaaran), and (Wa) would 

have (La) been filled (Muli'ta) with terror (Ru'baa) of them (Min'hum).

[18:19] And (Wa) thus (Kazaalika), We awakened them (Baåth'naa-hum) that (Li) they would ask 

(Yatasaa'alu') between them (Bai'nahum). A speaker (Qaailun) among them (Min'hum) said (Qaala), "How 

long (Kam') have you lingered (Labith'tum)?" They said (Qaalu'), "We have lingered (Labith'naa)

for a day 

(Yaw'man) or (Aw') part (Ba'da) of a day (Yaw'min)." Another said (Qaalu'), "Your LORD (Rabbu-kum) is aware 

(A'lamu) of how long (Bimaa) you lingered (Labith'tum'). So (Fa) send (Eb'åthuu') one of you (Ahada-kum) to 

(ilaa) the city (El'Madiinati) with (Bi) this (Haazihi) leaf of yours (Wariqi-kum), and let (Fal') him observe 

(Yanzur) which of them (Ayyuhaa) is the purest (Az'kaa) food (Toååman), and let (Fal') him bring you (Ya'ti-

kum Bi) sustenance (Riz'qin) therefrom (Min'hu), but let (Fal') him act gentle (Yatalattof’) and let not (Walaa)

anyone (Ahada) perceive you (Yush'eranna Bi-kum).

[18:20] "If (In) they should indeed (Innahum) overcome you (Yaz'haru' Ålai'kum’), they will stone you 

(Yar'jumuu-kum’) or (Aw') return you (Yueeduu-kum) into (Fii) their creed (Millati-him), and (Wa) you will 

never (Lan) succeed (Tuf'lihuu') in that case (Izan) ever (Abadaa)."

[18:21] And (Wa) thus (Kazaalika), We caused them to trip up (A'thar'naa Ålai'him) so that (Li) they (p)

would know (Ya'lamuu') that (Anna) the promise of GOD (Wa'da-llahi) is true (Haqqun) and (Wa) that 

(Anna) there is no (Laa) doubt (Rai'ba) about (Fiihaa) the Hour (Es'Saa'åta). When (Iz') they disputed with 

(Yatanaazauuna) their affair (Am'ra-hum') between them (Bai'nahum) and (Fa) said (Qaalu'), "Construct 

(Eb'nu') a building (Bun'yaana) for them (Ålai'him); their LORD (Rabbu-hum) is aware of them (A'lamu Bi

him)." Those who (Ellaziina) prevailed in (Galabu' Ålaa) their affair (Am'ri-him) said (Qaala), "We will (La)

seize (Nattakhizanna) a mosque (place of worship) (Mas'jidaa) for them (Ålai'him)."

[18:22] Some will say (Sa Yaquuluuna), "They were three (Thalaathatun); their dog (Kal'bu-hum) was their fourth 

(Raabiu-hum)," and (Wa)

others will say (Yaquuluuna), "Five (Kham'satun); their dog (Kal'bu-hum) was their 

sixth (Saadisu-hum)," as they guess (Raj'maa Bi) the unseen (El'Gai'bi); and (Wa)

others will say (Yaquuluuna), 

"Seven (Sab'åtun), and (Wa) their dog (Kal'bu-hum) was their eighth (Thaaminu-hum)." Say (Qul): "My 

LORD (Rabbii) is aware of (A'lamu Bi) their number (Eddati-him). None (Maa) knows them (Ya'lamu-hum)

except (illa) a few (Qaliilun)." So do not (Falaa) dispute (Tumaari) about them (Fiihim) except (illa) with an 

obvious (Zoahiraan) dispute (Miraa'an), nor (Walaa) shall you seek a legal opinion (Tas'taf'ti) about them 

(Fiihim)

from anyone (Ahadan) among them (Min'hum).
