18:12Then We awakened them to know which of the two groups could better calculate the length of their stay.

18:77So they set out. Until, when they reached the people of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused to offer them hospitality. There they found a wall about to collapse, and he repaired it. He said, “If you wanted, you could have obtained a payment for it.”

18:93Until, when he reached the point separating the two barriers, he found beside them a people who could barely understand what is said.

18:97So they were unable to climb it, and they could not penetrate it.
