Watasema: Walikuwa watatu, wa nne wao ni mbwa wao. Na wanasema: Walikuwa (18:22)

﴿سَيَقُولُونَ ثَلَاثَةٌ رَّابِعُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ خَمْسَةٌ سَادِسُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ رَجْمًا بِالْغَيْبِ ۖ وَيَقُولُونَ سَبْعَةٌ وَثَامِنُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ ۚ قُل رَّبِّي أَعْلَمُ بِعِدَّتِهِم مَّا يَعْلَمُهُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ ۗ فَلَا تُمَارِ فِيهِمْ إِلَّا مِرَاءً ظَاهِرًا وَلَا تَسْتَفْتِ فِيهِم مِّنْهُمْ أَحَدًا﴾
[ الكهف: 22]

Watasema: Walikuwa watatu, wa nne wao ni mbwa wao. Na wanasema: Walikuwa watano, wa sita wao ni mbwa wao. Wanavurumisha ovyo. Na wanasema: Walikuwa saba, na wa nane wao ni mbwa wao. Sema: Mola wangu Mlezi ndiye anaye jua sawa sawa hisabu yao. Hawawajui ila wachache tu. Basi usibishane juu yao ila kwa mabishano ya juu juu tu hivi. Wala usiulize khabari zao kwa yeyote yule.

English - Sahih International

They will say there were three, the fourth of them being their dog; and they will say there were five, the sixth of them being their dog - guessing at the unseen; and they will say there were seven, and the eighth of them was their dog. Say, [O Muhammad], "My Lord is most knowing of their number. None knows them except a few. So do not argue about them except with an obvious argument and do not inquire about them among [the speculators] from anyone."

Watasema: Walikuwa watatu, wa nne wao ni mbwa wao. Na wanasema: Walikuwa watano, wa sita wao ni mbwa wao. Wanavurumisha ovyo. Na wanasema: Walikuwa saba, na wa nane wao ni mbwa wao. Sema: Mola wangu Mlezi ndiye anaye jua sawa sawa hisabu yao. Hawawajui ila wachache tu. Basi usibishane juu yao ila kwa mabishano ya juu juu tu hivi. Wala usiulize khabari zao kwa yeyote yule.

Watasema kikundi fulani katika Watu wa Kitabu (Biblia) wanao jiingiza katika mzozano wa kisa cha Ahlil Kahf (Watu wa Pangoni) kwamba hao walikuwa watatu na wa nne wao ni mbwa wao. Na wengine wanasema: Walikuwa watano, na wa sita wao ni mbwa wao. Tena wengine wanasema: Wao ni saba, na wa nane wao ni mbwa wao. Waambie hawa wanao khitalifiana: Mola wangu Mlezi ni Mjuzi ambaye hapana wa kumshinda ujuzi wake kuijua idadi yao. Wala hapana wajuao ila watu wachache tu ambao Mwenyezi Mungu amewajuvya hisabu yao. Basi wewe usijadiliane na hao wanao khitalifiana juu ya mas-ala ya hao vijana, ila majadiliano ya juu juu ya upole, bila ya kujaribu kuwakinaisha. Kwani wao hawakinaiki. Wala msimuulize yeyote kati yao juu ya khabari zao. Wewe hakika imekwisha kujia iliyo kweli isiyo na shaka.
