When they were disputing among themselves about their affair, they said, “Build a structure over them.” Their Lord knows best about them [46]. Those who prevailed over their matter said, “We will certainly build a mosque over them.” [47].

[49] And some will say, “They are seven, and the eighth of them is their dog.” [50] Say, “My Lord knows their exact number; none knows them except a few.” [51] So do not argue about them except with clear arguments, [52] and do not inquire about them from anyone among the People of the Book.

What a terrible drink it is, and what an evil resting place! [71]
