18:9
أَمْ حَسِبْتَ أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ الْكَهْفِ وَالرَّقِيمِ كَانُوا مِنْ آيَاتِنَا عَجَبا ً
'Am Ĥasibta 'Anna 'Aşĥāba Al-Kahfi Wa Ar-Raqīmi Kānū Min 'Āyātinā `Ajabāan
Did you perceive that the dwellers of the cave and the numbers related were of Our wondrous signs?
18:10
إِذْ أَوَى الْفِتْيَةُ إِلَى الْكَهْفِ فَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا آتِنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَة ً وَهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا رَشَدا ً
'Idh 'Awá Al-Fityatu 'Ilá Al-Kahfi Faqālū Rabbanā 'Ātinā Min Ladunka Raĥmatan Wa Hayyi' Lanā Min 'Amrinā Rashadāan
When the youths hid in the cave, and they said: "Our Lord, bring us a mercy from Yourself, and help us in our affair!"
18:11
فَضَرَبْنَا عَلَى آذَانِهِمْ فِي الْكَهْفِ سِنِينَ عَدَدا ً
FaĐarabnā `Alá 'Ādhānihim Fī Al-Kahfi Sinīna `Adadāan
So We sealed their ears in the cave for many years.
18:16
وَإِذْ اعْتَزَلْتُمُوهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ إِلاَّ اللَّهَ فَأْوُوا إِلَى الْكَهْفِ يَنشُرْ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ مِنْ رَحْمَتِه ِِ وَيُهَيِّئْ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَمْرِكُمْ مِرفَقا ً
Wa 'Idh A`tazaltumūhum Wa Mā Ya`budūna 'Illā Allāha Fa'wū 'Ilá Al-Kahfi Yanshur Lakum Rabbukum Min Raĥmatihi Wa Yuhayyi' Lakum Min 'Amrikum Mirfaqāan
"So when you withdraw from them and what they serve besides God, seek refuge in the cave, and your Lord will spread His mercy upon you and prepare for your problem a solution."
18:17
وَتَرَى الشَّمْسَ إِذَا طَلَعَتْ تَزَاوَرُ عَنْ كَهْفِهِمْ ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ وَإِذَا غَرَبَتْ تَقْرِضُهُمْ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ وَهُمْ فِي فَجْوَة ٍ مِنْهُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ مَنْ يَهْدِ اللَّهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَه ُُ وَلِيّا ً مُرْشِدا ً
Wa Tará Ash-Shamsa 'Idhā Ţala`at Tazāwaru `An Kahfihim Dhāta Al-Yamīni Wa 'Idhā Gharabat TaqriĐuhum Dhāta Ash-Shimāli Wa Hum Fī Fajwatin Minhu Dhālika Min 'Āyāti Allāhi Man Yahdi Allāhu Fahuwa Al-Muhtadi Wa Man YuĐlil Falan Tajida Lahu Walīyāan Murshidāan
And you see the sun when it rises, it visits their cave from the right, and when it sets, it touches them from the left, while they are in an enclosure from it. That is from the signs of God. Whoever God guides is the guided one, and whoever He misguides, you will not find for him any ally to give direction.
18:25
وَلَبِثُوا فِي كَهْفِهِمْ ثَلاَثَ مِائَة ٍ سِنِينَ وَازْدَادُوا تِسْعا ً
Wa Labithū Fī Kahfihim Thalātha Miā'atin Sinīna Wa Azdādū Tis`āan
And they remained in their cave for three hundred years, and increased by nine.
