Thou wouldst have seen the sun, when it rose, declining to the right from their Cave, and when it set, turning away from them to the left, while they lay in the open space in the midst of the Cave. Such are among the Signs of Allah: He whom Allah, guides is rightly guided; but he whom Allah leaves to stray,- for him wilt thou find no protector to lead him to the Right Way.

So they stayed in their Cave three hundred years, and (some) add nine (more)

Or dost thou reflect that the Companions of the Cave and of the Inscription were wonders among Our Sign?

Behold, the youths betook themselves to the Cave: they said, "Our Lord! bestow on us Mercy from Thyself, and dispose of our affair for us in the right way!"

Then We draw (a veil) over their ears, for a number of years, in the Cave, (so that they heard not):

"When ye turn away from them and the things they worship other than Allah, betake yourselves to the Cave: Your Lord will shower His mercies on you and disposes of your affair towards comfort and ease."

你看太阳出来的时候，从他们的山洞的右边斜射过去；太阳落山的时候，从他的左边斜射过去，而他们就在洞的空处。这是真主的一种迹象，真主引导谁，谁遵循正道；真主使谁迷误，你绝不能为谁发现任何朋友作为引导者。

他们在山洞里逗留了三百年，（按阴历算）他们又加九年。

难道你以为岩洞和碑文的主人是我的迹象中的一件奇事吗？

当时，有几个青年避居山洞中，他们说：“我们的主啊！求你把你那里的恩惠赏赐我们，求你使我们的事业完全端正。”

我就使他们在山洞里几年不能听闻。

当你们离弃他们和他们舍真主而崇拜的神明，可避居山洞，你们的主将对你们广施恩惠--为你们的事业为有利的。
