قُلِ ٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثُوا۟ ۖ لَهُۥ غَيْبُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ أَبْصِرْ بِهِۦ وَأَسْمِعْ ۚ مَا لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَلَا يُشْرِكُ فِى حُكْمِهِۦٓ أَحَدًا

EnglishSaheeh International
Say, "Allāh is most knowing of how long they remained. He has [knowledge of] the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth. How Seeing is He and how Hearing! They have not besides Him any protector, and He shares not His legislation with anyone."

"அவர்கள் (அதில்) தரிப்பட்டிருந்த (காலத்)தை அல்லாஹ்வே நன்கறிந்தவன்; வானங்களிலும் பூமியிலும் மறைவாய் இருப்பவை அவனுக்கே உரியனவாகும்; அவற்றை அவனே நன்றாக பார்ப்பவன்; தெளிவாய்க் கேட்பவன் - அவனையன்றி அவர்களுக்கு உதவி செய்வோர் எவருமில்லை, அவன் தன்னுடைய அதிகாரத்தில் வேறு எவரையும் கூட்டாக்கிக் கொள்வதுமில்லை" என்று (நபியே!) நீர் கூறும்.

ඔවුන් රැඳී සිටි කාලය පිළිබඳ මැනවින් දන්නා අල්ලාහ් ය. අහස්හි හා මහපොළොවේ ගුප්තය ඔහු සතු ය. ඒ පිළිබඳව (ඔහු) කෙතරම් මහා නිරීක්ෂක ද? සර්ව ශ්‍රාවක ද? ඔහුගෙන් තොරව කිසිදු භාරකරුවකු ඔවුනට නොමැත. ඔහුගේ පාලනයෙහි කිසිවකුව ඔහු හවුල් කර නො ගනී යැයි (නබිවරය!) නුඹ පවසනු.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
آپ کہہ دیں اللہ ہی کو ان کے ٹھہرے رہنے کی مدت کا بخوبی علم ہے، آسمانوں اور زمینوں کا غیب صرف اسی کو حاصل ہے وه کیا ہی اچھا دیکھنے سننے واﻻ ہے ۔ سوائے اللہ کے ان کا کوئی مددگار نہیں، اللہ تعالیٰ اپنے حکم میں کسی کو شریک نہیں کرتا.

言ってやるがいい。「かれらが,どれ程長く滞留したか,アッラーが最もよく知っておられる。かれに,天と地の幽玄界は属する。何とかれはよく御存知であられ,またよく御聞きになることよ。かれら(言い争っている人びと)には,(結局)かれの外にはどんな保護者もなく,また何ものも,かれの大権に参与しないのである。」
ChineseMa Jian
真主是最知道他们逗留的时间的。唯有他知道天地的幽玄。他的视觉真明!他的听觉真聪!除真主外,他们绝无援助者,真主不让任何人参与他的判决。

Tafsir of 18:26

The Length of their Stay in the Cave Here Allah tells His Messenger the length of time the people of the Cave spent in their cave, from the time when He caused them to sleep until the time when He resurrected them and caused the people of that era to find them. The length of time was three hundred plus nine years in lunar years, which is three hundred years in solar years. The difference between one hundred lunar years and one hundred solar years is three years, which is why after mentioning three hundred, Allah says, `adding nine.' قُلِ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثُواْ (Say: "Allah knows best how long they stayed...") `If you are asked about how long they stayed, and you have no knowledge of that and no revelation from Allah about it, then do not say anything. Rather say something like this: اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثُواْ لَهُ غَيْبُ السَّمَوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ (Allah knows best how long they stayed. With Him is (the knowledge of) the Unseen of the heavens and the earth.)" meaning, no one knows about that except Him, and whoever among His creatures He chooses to tell.…
