18.13-14-15-16

نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَیْكَ نَبَاَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّؕ-اِنَّهُمْ فِتْیَةٌ اٰمَنُوْا بِرَبِّهِمْ وَ زِدْنٰهُمْ هُدًىۗۖ (13) وَّ رَبَطْنَا عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ اِذْ قَامُوْا فَقَالُوْا رَبُّنَا رَبُّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ لَنْ نَّدْعُوَاۡ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اِلٰهًا لَّقَدْ قُلْنَاۤ اِذًا شَطَطًا(14) هٰۤؤُلَآءِ قَوْمُنَا اتَّخَذُوْا مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اٰلِهَةًؕ-لَوْ لَا یَاْتُوْنَ عَلَیْهِمْ بِسُلْطٰنٍۭ بَیِّنٍؕ-فَمَنْ اَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرٰى عَلَى اللّٰهِ كَذِبًاﭤ(15) وَ اِذِ اعْتَزَلْتُمُوْهُمْ وَ مَا یَعْبُدُوْنَ اِلَّا اللّٰهَ فَاْوٗۤا اِلَى الْـكَهْفِ یَنْشُرْ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ مِّنْ رَّحْمَتِهٖ وَ یُهَیِّئْ لَكُمْ مِّنْ اَمْرِكُمْ مِّرْفَقًا(16)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

We relate to you their account with the truth. They were some young men who believed in their Lord, and We increased their guidance. And We granted strength to their hearts when they stood up and said, “Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, we shall never worship a god other than Him. ˹If we did,˺ we would certainly be uttering a shocking lie[1]. This is our nation; they have taken gods other than Him (Allah). Why do they not bring forth a clear proof about them? So who is a greater oppressor than he who ascribes a lie to Allah?” And when you have withdrawn from them and whatever they worship except Allah, then take refuge in the cave, your Lord will spread His mercy for you and provide you with ease[1].”

Commentary

[1]

These were the words that were said by the People of the Cave before King Diqyānūs when he summoned them to his court.

[2]

The conversation from this point is that which took place among the People of the Cave; they instructed each other not to live among that disbelieving nation and to move away from them taking refuge in an unknown location; thus, they could save themselves from the evils of the nation, and worship Allah Almighty with the hope of attaining refuge and protection. So, we come to know that withdrawing from people during times of tribulation is a means of protecting one’s faith.
