Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem.
16. [ The youths said to one another],"and when you have withdrawn from them and that which they worship other than Allah, retreat to the cave. Your Lord will spread out for you of His mercy
and will prepare for you from your affair facility."
17. 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 [laying] within an open space thereof. That was from the signs of Allah. He whom Allah guides is the [rightly] guided, but he whom He leaves astray--never will you find for him a protecting guide.
18. And you would think them awake, while they were asleep. And We turned them to the right and to the left, will 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 in terror.
19. And similarly, 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 a 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 food and bring you provision from it and let him be cautious. And let no one be aware of you.
Al Qur'an 18 : 16 to 19.
