18:9Did you know that the People of the Cave and the Inscription were of Our wondrous signs?

18:13We relate to you their story in truth. They were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.

18:18You would think them awake, although they were asleep. And We turned them over to the right, and to the left, with their dog stretching its paws across the threshold. Had you looked at them, you would have turned away from them in flight, and been filled with fear of them.

18:21So it was, that We caused them to be discovered, that they would know that the promise of God is true, and that of the Hour there is no doubt. As they were disputing their case among themselves, they said, “Build over them a building.” Their Lord knows best about them. Those who prevailed over their case said, “We will set up over them a place of worship.”

18:58Your Lord is the Forgiver, Possessor of Mercy. Were He to call them to account for what they have earned, He would have hastened the punishment for them. But they have an appointment from which they will find no escape.

18:62When they went further, he said to his servant, “Bring us our lunch; we were exposed in our travel to much fatigue.”

18:64He said, “This is what we were seeking.” And so they turned back retracing their steps.

18:66Moses said to him, “May I follow you, so that you may teach me some of the guidance you were taught?”

18:78He said, “This is the parting between you and me. I will tell you the interpretation of what you were unable to endure.

18:80As for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared he would overwhelm them with oppression and disbelief.

18:82And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphaned boys in the town. Beneath it was a treasure that belonged to them. Their father was a righteous man. Your Lord wanted them to reach their maturity, and then extract their treasure—as a mercy from your Lord. I did not do it of my own accord. This is the interpretation of what you were unable to endure.”

18:95He said, “What my Lord has empowered me with is better. But assist me with strength, and I will build between you and them a dam.”

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

18:101Those whose eyes were screened to My message, and were unable to hear.

18:109Say, “If the ocean were ink for the words of my Lord, the ocean would run out, before the words of my Lord run out,” even if We were to bring the like of it in addition to it.
