18:20

إِنَّهُمْ إِن يَظْهَرُوا۟ عَلَيْكُمْ يَرْجُمُوكُمْ أَوْ يُعِيدُوكُمْ فِى مِلَّتِهِمْ وَلَن تُفْلِحُوٓا۟ إِذًا أَبَدًۭا

Indeed, if they come to know of you, they will stone you or return you to their religion. And never would you succeed, then - ever."

Tafsir

Ibn Kathīr (abridged)

Their awakening and sending One of Themselves to buy Food Allah says: `just as We caused them to ...

كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ

(How long have you stayed (here)) meaning, `how long have you slept'

قَالُواْ لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ

(They said: "We have stayed a day or part of a day.") because they entered the cave at the beginning of the day, and they woke up at the end of the day, which is why they then said,

أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ قَالُواْ رَبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثْتُمْ
