Verse 19

وَكَذَٰلِكَ And similarly بَعَثْنَـٰهُمْ We raised them لِيَتَسَآءَلُوا۟ that they might question بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ among them قَالَ Said قَآئِلٌۭ a speaker مِّنْهُمْ among them كَمْ How long لَبِثْتُمْ ۖ have you remained قَالُوا۟ They said لَبِثْنَا We have remained يَوْمًا a day أَوْ or بَعْضَ a part يَوْمٍۢ ۚ (of) a day قَالُوا۟ They said رَبُّكُمْ Your Lord أَعْلَمُ knows best بِمَا how long لَبِثْتُمْ you have remained فَٱبْعَثُوٓا۟ So send أَحَدَكُم one of you بِوَرِقِكُمْ with this silver coin of yours هَـٰذِهِۦٓ with this silver coin of yours إِلَى to ٱلْمَدِينَةِ the city فَلْيَنظُرْ and let him see أَيُّهَآ which is أَزْكَىٰ the purest طَعَامًۭا food فَلْيَأْتِكُم and let him bring to you بِرِزْقٍۢ provision مِّنْهُ from it وَلْيَتَلَطَّفْ and let him be cautious وَلَا And let not be aware يُشْعِرَنَّ And let not be aware بِكُمْ about you أَحَدًا anyone ١٩

And similarly, We awakened them that they might question one another. Said a speaker from among them, "How long have you remained [here]?" They said, "We have remained a day or part of a day." They said, "Your Lord is most knowing of how long you remained. So send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the city and let him look to which is the best of food and bring you provision from it and let him be cautious. And let no one be aware of you.
