We relate to thee their story in truth: they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We advanced them in guidance:.Then We roused them, in order to test which of the two parties was best at calculating the term of years they had tarried!.Then We draw (a veil) over their ears, for a number of years, in the Cave, (so that they heard not):.Behold, the youths betook themselves to the Cave: they said, “Our Lord! bestow on us Mercy from Thyself, and dispose of our affair for us in the right way!” (Surah Kahf).Or dost thou reflect that the Companions of the Cave and of the Inscription were wonders among Our Sign?.Verily what is on earth we shall make but as dust and dry soil (without growth or herbage).That which is on earth we have made but as a glittering show for the earth, in order that We may test them – as to which of them are best in conduct.Thou wouldst only, perchance, fret thyself to death, following after them, in grief, if they believe not in this Message.

It is a grievous thing that issues from their mouths as a saying what they say is nothing but falsehood!

As for the timing and contextual background of the revelation (asbab al-nuzul), it is an earlier “Meccan surah” meaning it was revealed in Mecca, rather than Medina. Surah Kahf (meaning: The Cave) is the 18th chapter (surah al kahf) of the Quran with 110 verses (ayats).
