In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the All-Merciful

وَ کَذٰلِکَ بَعَثۡنٰہُمۡ لِیَتَسَآءَلُوۡا بَیۡنَہُمۡ ؕ قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنۡہُمۡ کَمۡ لَبِثۡتُمۡ ؕ قَالُوۡا لَبِثۡنَا یَوۡمًا اَوۡ بَعۡضَ یَوۡمٍ ؕ قَالُوۡا رَبُّکُمۡ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثۡتُمۡ ؕ فَابۡعَثُوۡۤا اَحَدَکُمۡ بِوَرِقِکُمۡ ہٰذِہٖۤ اِلَی الۡمَدِیۡنَۃِ فَلۡیَنۡظُرۡ اَیُّہَاۤ اَزۡکٰی طَعَامًا فَلۡیَاۡتِکُمۡ بِرِزۡقٍ مِّنۡہُ وَ لۡـیَؔ‍‍‍تَلَطَّفۡ وَ لَا یُشۡعِرَنَّ بِکُمۡ اَحَدًا ﴿۱۹﴾

19. Even so, We raised them (from sleep) that they might question one another. One of them said: ‘How long have you stayed (here)?’ Some replied: ‘We have stayed a day or a part of a day.’ They said (to one another): ‘Your Lord knows best how long you have stayed. Send one of you to the town with this money of yours. Let him observe which of them has the purest food and bring you some provisions from there. Let him be polite (and careful), and by no means make anyone aware of you.

(الْكَهْف، 18 : 19)
سَیَقُوۡلُوۡنَ ثَلٰثَۃٌ رَّابِعُہُمۡ کَلۡبُہُمۡ ۚ وَ یَقُوۡلُوۡنَ خَمۡسَۃٌ سَادِسُہُمۡ کَلۡبُہُمۡ رَجۡمًۢا بِالۡغَیۡبِ ۚ وَ یَقُوۡلُوۡنَ سَبۡعَۃٌ وَّ ثَامِنُہُمۡ کَلۡبُہُمۡ ؕ قُلۡ رَّبِّیۡۤ اَعۡلَمُ بِعِدَّتِہِمۡ مَّا یَعۡلَمُہُمۡ اِلَّا قَلِیۡلٌ ۬۟ فَلَا تُمَارِ فِیۡہِمۡ اِلَّا مِرَآءً ظَاہِرًا ۪ وَّ لَا تَسۡتَفۡتِ فِیۡہِمۡ مِّنۡہُمۡ اَحَدًا ﴿٪۲۲﴾

22. Some will say: ‘(The Companions of the Cave) were three, and the fourth of them was their dog.’ And others will say: ‘(They were) five, and the sixth of them was their dog.’ (They are) guessing at the Unseen. Yet others will say: ‘(They were) seven, and the eighth of them was their dog.’ Say: ‘My Lord knows best their number, and none (truly) knows about them except a few.’ So do not dispute concerning them except with a clear argument. And do not question any of them about them.
