وَتَرَى الشَّمْسَ إِذَا طَلَعَتْ تَتَزَاوَرُ عَنْ کَهْفِهِمْ ذَاتَ الْیَمِینِ وَإِذَا غَرَبَتْ تَّقْرِضُهُمْ ذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ وَهُمْ فِی فَجْوَة مِنْهُ ذَلِکَ مِنْ آیَاتِ اللهِ مَنْ یَهْدِ اللهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِ وَمَنْ یُضْلِلْ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهُ وَلِیّاً مُّرْشِد(( 17 ))

17- AND YOU WOULD SEE THE SUN WHEN IT ROSE, INCLINING FROM THEIR CAVE TOWARDS THE RIGHT, AND WHEN IT SET, PASSING THEM BY THE LEFT; WHILE THEY WERE IN THE WIDER SPACE OF THE CAVE. THAT WAS OF THE SIGNS OF ALLAH. HE WHOM ALLAH GUIDES HE IS RIGHTLY GUIDED, AND HE WHOM ALLAH LEAVES TO STRAY, YOU WILL NEVER FIND FOR HIM A FRIENDLY LEADER.

وَتَحْسَبُهُمْ أَیْقَاظاً وَهُمْ رُقُودٌ وَنُقَلِّبُهُمْ ذَاتَ الْیَمِینِ وَذَاتَ الشِّمَالِ وَکَلْبُهُمْ بَاسِطٌ ذِرَاعَیْهِ بِالْوَصِیدِ لَوِ اطَّلَعْتَ عَلَیْهِمْ لَوَلَّیْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِرَاراً وَلَمُلِئْتَ مِنْهُمْ رُعْباً (( 18 ))

18- AND YOU WILL THINK THEM TO BE AWAKE, WHILE THEY ARE ASLEEP, AND (EVERY NOW AND THEN) WE TURN THEM ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND ON THE LEFT SIDE.

      AND THEIR DOG HAS ITS HANDS STRETCHED AT THE CAVE'S ENTRANCE. WOULD YOU OBSERVE THEM (IN THEIR CONDITION) YOU WOULD TURN AWAY FROM THEM IN FLIGHT WITH DREAD!
