surah Kahf aya 19 , English translation of the meaning Ayah.
﴿وَكَذَٰلِكَ بَعَثْنَاهُمْ لِيَتَسَاءَلُوا بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ قَالَ قَائِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ ۖ قَالُوا لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ ۚ قَالُوا رَبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثْتُمْ فَابْعَثُوا أَحَدَكُم بِوَرِقِكُمْ هَٰذِهِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَلْيَنظُرْ أَيُّهَا أَزْكَىٰ طَعَامًا فَلْيَأْتِكُم بِرِزْقٍ مِّنْهُ وَلْيَتَلَطَّفْ وَلَا يُشْعِرَنَّ بِكُمْ أَحَدًا﴾
[ الكهف: 19]
18:19 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 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 of food and bring you provision from it and let him be cautious. And let no one be aware of you.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishJust as I did to them the wondrous acts that I have mentioned, I awakened them after a long period of time and they began to ask one another about the period that they had spent asleep.
One of them responded: I remained asleep for one day or part of one day.
One of them, to whom it was not clear how long they had spent asleep, responded: Your Lord knows best about the period you had remained asleep, so entrust the knowledge of that to Him and get busy with what concerns you.
Send one of you with these silver coins to the city we know and let him see which of the inhabitants of that city are most pure in their food and earnings.
He should proceed with caution when entering and leaving and when dealing.
He must also be tactful and not let anyone find out where you are, because that will result in great harm.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
Likewise, We awakened them (from their long deep sleep) that they might question one another. A speaker from among them said: "How long have you stayed (here)?" They said: "We have stayed (perhaps) a day or part of a day." They said: "Your Lord (Alone) knows best how long you have stayed (here). So send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the town, and let him find out which is the good lawful food, and bring some of that to you. And let him be careful and let no man know of you.

Abdullah Yusuf Ali - Translation
Such (being their state), we raised them up (from sleep), that they might question each other. Said one of them, "How long have ye stayed (here)?" They said, "We have stayed (perhaps) a day, or part of a day." (At length) they (all) said, "Allah (alone) knows best how long ye have stayed here.... Now send ye then one of you with this money of yours to the town: let him find out which is the best food (to be had) and bring some to you, that (ye may) satisfy your hunger therewith: And let him behave with care and courtesy, and let him not inform any one about you.
Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri
Likewise, We woke them that they might question one another. A speaker among them said: "How long have you stayed (here)" They said: "We have stayed a day or part of a day." They said: "Your Lord knows best how long you have stayed (here). So send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the town, and let him find out which is the Azka food, and bring some of that to you. And let him be careful and let no man know of you."

18:19 And similarly, We awakened them that they might question one another. Said translate in arabic
وكذلك بعثناهم ليتساءلوا بينهم قال قائل منهم كم لبثتم قالوا لبثنا يوما أو بعض يوم قالوا ربكم أعلم بما لبثتم فابعثوا أحدكم بورقكم هذه إلى المدينة فلينظر أيها أزكى طعاما فليأتكم برزق منه وليتلطف ولا يشعرن بكم أحدا
سورة: الكهف - آية: ( 19 ) - جزء: ( 15 ) - صفحة: ( 295 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
So conditioned, We aroused them and stirred them into activity only to question each other as to the length of time they had laid themselves to rest. How long do you think you have been in this place to repose your wearied virtues? asked one of them. Probably a day or less, they said. Allah, your Creator, knows best how long. Meantime send one of you with this silver coin to town in quest of the best food and he brings back some of it to satisfy our hunger, but he must be gentle and courteous and not to attract attention or fix directly upon himself nor indirectly upon you the notice of others
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(18:19) And in the same miraculous way We raised them up again *16 so that they may ask one another (about their wonderful experience). One of them asked, "Well, how long have you remained in this condition?" The others answered, "May-be, we have remained so for a day or a part of a day." Then they declared, "Your Lord knows best how long we have remained in this condition. So let us send one of us with this silver coin to the city, and he should look for a place wherein he can get the best food so that he may bring something to eat. He should, however, conduct himself with caution lest anyone should discover our whereabouts;

*16) They were roused from their sleep in the same miraculous way that was employed in sending them to sleep and keeping them hidden from the outer world.

اور اسی عجیب کرشمے سے ہم نے انہیں اٹھا بٹھایا تاکہ ذرا آپس میں پوچھ گچھ کریں ان میں سے ایک نے پوچھا "کہو کتنی دیر اس حال میں رہے؟"دوسروں نے کہا "شاید دن بھر یا اس سے کچھ کم رہے ہوں گے" پھر وہ بولے "اللہ ہی بہتر جانتا ہے کہ ہمارا کتنا وقت اس حالت میں گزرا چلو، اب اپنے میں سے کسی کو چاندی کا یہ سکہ دے کر شہر بھیجیں اور وہ دیکھے کہ سب سے اچھا کھانا کہاں ملتا ہے وہاں سے وہ کچھ کھانے کے لیے لائے اور چاہیے کہ ذرا ہوشیاری سے کام کرے، ایسا نہ ہو کہ وہ کسی کو ہمارے یہاں ہونے سے خبردار کر بیٹھے
