 some will say three the fourth of them being their dog while others will say five with their dog as the sixth of them idly guessing at something of which they can have no knowledge and some will say seven the eighth of them being their dog. say my sustainer knows best how many they were. none but a few have any knowledge of them. hence do not argue about them otherwise than by way of an obvious argument and do not ask any of those to enlighten thee about them.
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
