some will say they were three the fourth was their dog and others will say they were five the sixth was their dog guessing at random. and yet others say they were seven the eighth was their dog. say my lord knows best their number. only a few know anything about them. therefore do not enter into controversies over them nor seek information about them from any of them never say of anything i shall certainly do this tomorrow
سيقولون ثلاثة رابعهم كلبهم ويقولون خمسة سادسهم كلبهم رجما بالغيب ويقولون سبعة وثامنهم كلبهم قل ربي أعلم بعدتهم ما يعلمهم إلا قليل فلا تمار فيهم إلا مراء ظاهرا ولا تستفت فيهم منهم أحدا ولا تقولن لشيء إني فاعل ذلك غدا
