And (just like how We gave them a miraculously long sleep, similarly) We woke them up from their sleep to question each other (through this questioning Allah’s power and wisdom will become even more clear). One of them said: “How long was your stay here?” They responded: “A day or part of a day.” They added: “Your Creator knows best how long you have stayed (leave this discussion). So send one of you to the city with your currency to see which of the lawful meal is available so that he can bring some of that to you. And he should be careful and courteous lest any one of them know about you.
