THE FOLLOWING chapter is arranged in twelve sections and consist of 110 Meccan verses. However verse 28 and verses 83-101 on Double Horns (XI) date from the Madinese period. It was revealed after The Pall 88 and before Bees 16, and it forms a series of narratives in the manner of Joseph's story in Chapter 12 and Stories 28. The chief narration concerns the so-called "Sleepers in the Cave" who are mentioned in Edward Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (ch. XXXIII, end) which that historian calls a legend. These sleepers were young men who were persecuted because they did not want to become associators or to worship other deities or idols. It is clear this is an allegory and that their number does not matter. It apparently refers to the difficulties of belief within the Christian church during its early centuries. This story is important since it shows how religions previous to Islam had become corrupted, and how some early Christians resisted such ideas. Towards the end, Moses' mystic journey after Truth is related (IX-X). Double Horns may give the story of Alexander the Great which interested the Middle East as much as it did medieval Europe (XI), Most of this is allegorical, as we are clearly told at the end of the story of the Sleepers, and it should not be taken too literally; the collection of tales merely provides us with a running commentary on significant events. Other sections deal with the sin of association, the virtue of tolerance, Hell and Heaven (IV), and charming parables like the Grateful and Ungrateful Farmers (V); Rain from Heaven (VI); and Diabolis' meeting with Adam (VIL). It ends with the little gem called "The Words of the Lord" (XII). As a whole the style resembles that of Chapter 71 on Noah (SEE Introduction to Chapter 72 Sprites on the allegorical style). Pickthall's explanation in his introduction to this chapter is also clear and easy to read. In the name of God, the Mercy-giving, the Merciful! (I)

Thumma Ba`athnāhum Lina`lama 'Ayyu Al-Ĥizbayni 'Aĥşá Limā Labithū 'Amadāan    018-012* then We awakened them again so We might know which of the two parties would best calculate how long a stretch they had remained [there].

Heaven and Earth. We will never appeal to any deity except Him; should we say [such a thing], then it would be an outrage.

Your Lord will spread some of His mercy over you and make fitting arrangements for you in your affair. وَ‌إِ‌ذْ‌ ‌اعْتَزَلْتُمُوهُمْ ‌وَمَا‌ يَعْبُد‍ُ‍‌ونَ ‌إِلاَّ‌ ‌ال‍‍لَّهَ فَأْ‌وُ‌و‌ا‌ ‌إِلَى‌ ‌الْكَهْفِ يَ‍‍ن‍‍شُرْ‌ لَكُمْ ‌‍رَبُّكُ‍‍مْ مِ‍‍نْ ‌‍رَحْمَتِه ِ‍ِ‍‌ ‌وَيُهَيِّئْ لَكُ‍‍مْ مِنْ ‌أَمْ‍‍رِكُ‍‍مْ مِرفَ‍‍ق‍‍ا ‌ ً

That was one of God's signs. Anyone whom God guides, remains guided; while anyone He lets go astray will never find any patron to set him straight. (III) وَتَ‍رَ‌ى‌ ‌ال‍‍شَّمْسَ ‌إِ‌ذَ‌ا‌ طَ‍‍لَعَ‍‍تْ تَزَ‌ا‌وَ‌رُ‌ عَ‍‌‍نْ كَهْفِهِمْ ‌ذ‍َ‍‌اتَ ‌الْيَم‍‍ِ‍ي‍‍نِ ‌وَ‌إِ‌ذَ‌ا‌ غَ‍‍‍رَبَ‍‍تْ تَ‍‍‍‍ق‍‍‍‍ْ‍‍رِ‍‍ضُ‍‍هُمْ ‌ذ‍َ‍‌اتَ ‌ال‍‍شِّم‍‍َ‍الِ ‌وَهُمْ فِي فَ‍‍ج‍‍ْ‍وَةٍ‌ مِنْهُ ۚ ‌ذَلِكَ مِ‍‌‍نْ ‌آي‍‍َ‍اتِ ‌ال‍‍لَّهِ ۗ مَ‍‍نْ يَهْدِ‌ ‌ال‍‍لَّهُ فَهُوَ‌ ‌الْمُهْتَدِ‌ ۖ ‌وَمَ‍‍نْ يُ‍‍ضْ‍‍لِلْ فَلَ‍‌‍نْ تَجِدَ‌ لَه ُ‌ ‌وَلِيّا‌‌ ً‌ مُرْشِد‌ا‌‌ ً

We turned them over on the right and on the left, while their dog lay stretched out with his forepaws over the threshold. If you had chanced upon them, you would have turned and fled from them; you would have been filled with awe of them! وَتَحْسَبُهُمْ ‌أَيْ‍‍قَ‍‍اظ‍‍ا‌‌ ً‌ ‌وَهُمْ ‌رُ‍‍ق‍‍‍‍ُ‍و‌د‌ٌۚ ‌وَنُ‍‍قَ‍‍لِّبُهُمْ ‌ذ‍َ‍‌اتَ ‌الْيَم‍‍ِ‍ي‍‍نِ ‌وَ‌ذ‍َ‍‌اتَ ‌ال‍‍شِّم‍‍َ‍الِ ۖ ‌وَكَلْبُهُ‍‍مْ بَاسِ‍‍ط‍‍‌‍ٌ‌ ‌ذِ‌‍رَ‌اعَيْهِ بِ‍الْوَ‍‍ص‍‍‍‍ِ‍ي‍‍دِ‌ ۚ لَوِ‌ ‌ا‍طّ‍‍َلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَوَلَّيْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِ‍رَ‌ا‌ر‌ا‌‌ ً‌ ‌وَلَمُلِئْتَ مِنْهُمْ ‌رُعْبا‌‌ ً

One of them spoke up and said: "How long have you stayed [here]?" They said: "We have stayed a day, or part of a day." They said: "Your Lord is quite Aware of how long you have stayed [here], so send one of your men to the city with this coin of yours. Let him see which food is the most suitable and bring you [back] a supply of it. Let him act discreetly and not make anyone aware of you. وَكَذَلِكَ بَعَثْنَاهُمْ لِيَتَس‍‍َ‍ا‌ءَلُو‌ا‌ بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ ق‍‍‍‍َ‍الَ ق‍‍‍‍َ‍ائِلٌ‌ مِنْهُمْ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ ۖ قَ‍‍الُو‌ا‌ لَبِثْنَا‌ يَوْما‌‌ ً‌ ‌أَ‌وْ‌ بَعْ‍‍ضَ يَوْم‌‍ٍۚ قَ‍‍الُو‌ا‌ ‌‍رَبُّكُمْ ‌أَعْلَمُ بِمَا‌ لَبِثْتُمْ فَ‍‍اب‍‍ْ‍عَثُ‍‍و‌ا‌ ‌أَحَدَكُ‍‍مْ بِوَ‌رِ‍‍قِ‍‍كُمْ هَذِهِ ‌إِلَى‌ ‌الْمَدِينَةِ فَلْيَ‍‌‍ن‍‍‍‍ظُ‍‍رْ‌ ‌أَيُّهَ‍‍ا‌ ‌أَ‌زْكَى‌ طَ‍‍عَاما‌‌ ً‌ فَلْيَأْتِكُ‍‍مْ بِ‍‍رِ‌زْ‍‍ق‍ٍ‌ مِنْهُ ‌وَلْيَتَلَ‍‍طّ‍‍َفْ ‌وَلاَ‌ يُشْعِ‍رَنَّ بِكُمْ ‌أَحَد‌ا‌‌ ً

You would never succeed then!" إِنّ‍‍َ‍هُمْ ‌إِنْ يَ‍‍ظْ‍‍هَرُ‌و‌ا‌ عَلَيْكُمْ يَرْجُمُوكُمْ ‌أَ‌وْ‌ يُعِيدُ‌وكُمْ فِي مِلَّتِهِمْ ‌وَلَ‍‍نْ تُفْلِحُ‍‍و‌ا‌ ‌إِ‌ذ‌ا ‌ ً‌ ‌أَبَد‌ا ‌ ً

So [people] debated their case among themselves, and they said: "Build a monument over them. Their Lord is quite Aware of them." Those who won out in the end said: "Let us erect a shrine for them," وَكَذَلِكَ ‌أَعْثَرْنَا‌ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَعْلَمُ‍‍و‌ا‌ ‌أَنَّ ‌وَعْدَ‌ ‌ال‍‍لَّهِ حَ‍‍قّ‍ٌ‌ ‌وَ‌أَنَّ ‌ال‍‍سَّاعَةَ لاَ‌ ‌‍رَيْبَ فِيهَ‍‍ا‌ ‌إِ‌ذْ‌ يَتَنَا‌زَع‍‍ُ‍ونَ بَيْنَهُمْ ‌أَمْ‍رَهُمْ ۖ فَ‍‍قَ‍‍الُو‌ا‌اب‍‍ْ‍نُو‌ا‌ عَلَيْهِ‍‍مْ بُ‍‍ن‍‍ْ‍يَانا‌‌ ًۖ ‌‍رَبُّهُمْ ‌أَعْلَمُ بِهِمْ ۚ ق‍‍‍‍َ‍الَ ‌الَّذ‍ِ‍ي‍‍نَ غَ‍‍لَبُو‌ا‌ عَلَ‍‍ى‌ ‌أَمْ‍‍رِهِمْ لَنَتَّ‍‍خِ‍‍ذَنَّ عَلَيْهِ‍‍مْ مَسْجِد‌ا‌‌ ً

[Still others] say: "Seven, and the eighth of them is their dog."
Allegory SAY: "My Lord is quite Aware as to how many they were. Only a few know about them." Do not discuss them except in a discussion that is obvious, nor seek anyone else's opinion about them.
