سورة Al-Kahf · سُوْرَةُ الْكَهْفِ · جزء 15

Q 18:22

سَيَقُولُونَ ثَلَـٰثَةٌ رَّابِعُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ خَمْسَةٌ سَادِسُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ رَجْمًۢا بِٱلْغَيْبِ ۖ وَيَقُولُونَ سَبْعَةٌ وَثَامِنُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ ۚ قُل رَّبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِعِدَّتِهِم مَّا يَعْلَمُهُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ ۗ فَلَا تُمَارِ فِيهِمْ إِلَّا مِرَآءً ظَـٰهِرًا وَلَا تَسْتَفْتِ فِيهِم مِّنْهُمْ أَحَدًا

الترجمات

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."
Sahih International · EN
Ils diront: «ils étaient trois et le quatrième était leur chien». Et ils diront en conjecturant sur leur mystère qu'ils étaient cinq, le sixième étant leur chien et ils diront: «sept, le huitième étant leur chien». Dis: «Mon Seigneur connaît mieux leur nombre. Il n'en est que peu qui le savent». Ne discute à leur sujet que d'une façon apparente et ne consulte personne en ce qui les concerne.

التفسير

سيقول بعض الخائضين في قصتهم عن عددهم: هم ثلاثة رابعهم كلبهم، ويقول بعضهم: هم خمسة سادسهم كلبهم، وكلتا الطائفتين إنما قالت ما قالته تبعًا لظنها من غير دليل، ويقول بعضهم: هم سبعة وثامنهم كلبهم، قل - أيها الرسول -: ربي أعلم بعددهم، ما يعلم عددهم إلا قليل ممن علّمهم الله عددهم، فلا تجادل في عددهم ولا في غيره من أحوالهم أهلَ الكتاب ولا غيرهم إلا جدالًا ظاهرًا لا عمق فيه، بأن تقتصر على ما نزل عليك من الوحي بشأنهم، ولا تسأل أحدًا منهم عن تفاصيل شأنهم، فإنهم لا يعلمون ذلك.

اقرأ ابن كثير (ابن كثير (مختصر، بالإنجليزية))
They say they were three, the dog being the fourth among them; and they say they were five, the dog being the sixth, guessing at the unseen; and they say they were seven, and the dog being the eighth. Say: "My Lord knows best their number; none knows them but a few." So debate not except with the clear proof. And consult not any of them (about the people of the Cave)(22) Their Number Allah tells us that people disputed over the number of the people of the Cave. The Ayah mentions three views, proving that there was no fourth suggestion. Allah indicates that the first two opinions are invalid, by saying, رَجْمًا بِالْغَيْبِ (guessing at the unseen), meaning that they spoke without knowledge, like a person who aims at an unknown target – he is hardly likely to hit it, and if he does, it was not on purpose. Then Allah mentions the third opinion, and does not comment on it, or He affirms it by saying, وَثَامِنُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ (and the dog being the eighth.) indicating that this is correct and this is what happened. قُل رَّبِّي أَعْلَمُ بِعِدَّتِهِم (Say: "My Lord knows best their number...") indicating that the best thing to do in matters like this is to refer knowledge to Allah, because there is no need to indulge in discussing such matters without knowledge. If we are given knowledge of a matter, then we may talk about it, otherwise we should refrain. مَّا يَعْلَمُهُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ (none knows them but a few.) of mankind. Qatadah said that Ibn 'Abbas said: "I am one of the few mentioned in this Ayah; they were seven. " Ibn Jurayj also narrated that 'Ata' Al-Khurasani narrated from him, "I am one of those referred to in this Ayah," and he would say: "Their number was seven." Ibn Jarir recorded that Ibn 'Abbas said: مَّا يَعْلَمُهُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ (none knows them but a few.) "I am one of the few, and they were seven." The chains of these reports narrated from Ibn 'Abbas, which say that they were seven, are Sahih, and this is in accordance with what we have stated above. فَلَا تُمَارِ فِيهِمْ إِلَّا مِرَاءً ظَاهِرًا (So debate not except with the clear proof.) meaning, gently and politely, for there is not a great deal to be gained from knowing about that. وَلَا تَسْتَفْتِ فِيهِم مِّنْهُمْ أَحَدًا (And consult not any of them (about the people of the Cave).) meaning, 'They do not have any knowledge about it except what they make up, guessing at the unseen; they have no evidence from an infallible source. But Allah has sent you, O Muhammad, with the truth in which there is no doubt or confusion, which is to be given priority over all previous books and sayings.'
