Al-Kahf

سَيَقُولُونَ ثَلَٰثَةٞ رَّابِعُهُمۡ كَلۡبُهُمۡ وَيَقُولُونَ خَمۡسَةٞ سَادِسُهُمۡ كَلۡبُهُمۡ رَجۡمَۢا بِٱلۡغَيۡبِۖ وَيَقُولُونَ سَبۡعَةٞ وَثَامِنُهُمۡ كَلۡبُهُمۡۚ قُل رَّبِّيٓ أَعۡلَمُ بِعِدَّتِهِم مَّا يَعۡلَمُهُمۡ إِلَّا قَلِيلٞۗ فَلَا تُمَارِ فِيهِمۡ إِلَّا مِرَآءٗ ظَٰهِرٗا وَلَا تَسۡتَفۡتِ فِيهِم مِّنۡهُمۡ أَحَدٗا

Some say that they were three, and the fourth was their dog, and others say that they were five, the dog was the sixth, they are simply guessing about the unseen. And some others say that they were seven and the dog was the eighth. [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] Say: “My Creator knows best their number; none knows their number but a few.” Hence, don’t in-dulge in this debate except in a passing way and don’t ask any of them (i.e.the people of the Scripture) about them (i.e.the people of the cave).
