Al-Kahf 22: (Some people) will say; “They are three people, and the fourth is their dog.” And some will say; “They are five people, and the sixth is their dog.” (These are) making guesses about the unknown. And some will say; “They are seven people, and the eighth is their dog.” Say; “My Lord knows their number better. There are very few who have knowledge about them.” Thus, unless you have clear proof, do not argue about the People of the Cave and do not ask (for any information about them) those ones (who argue).

(Some people) will say; “They are three people, and the fourth is their dog.” And some will say; “They are five people, and the sixth is their dog.” (These are) making guesses about the unknown.

Tafsir
People are very curious about hidden and secret things. They are eager to speculate about Ashab al-Kahf. About the Ashab al-Kahf who took shelter in the cave, some say that their number is three, some say it is five, some say it is seven and they have a dog. The people who make these predictions should not be believed except by those who have clear evidence.
For their number is known to Allah. People cannot know how many they are, except for those who have clear proofs other than Allah. And those who have clear proofs do not reveal them according to the verse of Allah (swt). What does the verse say? (So, do not argue about Ashab al-Kahf except when the evidence is clear, and do not ask for information about them from any of the people (who talk back and forth)). Do not talk back and forth about them, that is, do not tell people about their numbers that are not useful to them. Don't make people talk back and forth about them, and don't ask any of them for information. And the saying "Do not ask for information from anyone" means that these are a miracle of Allah. The continuation of this miracle is already occurring. By informing us to be content with the verses that Allah has informed us about their situation, He says not to ask for any information from anyone. The way miracles occur and their secrets are within Allah's power of knowledge.
The more people talk back and forth about Ashab al-Kahf, the more people get stuck in dead ends and become depressed in the imaginations of their own minds. In this regard, it is believed that they were put back to sleep by Allah and when a certain time comes, they will be awakened from sleep again and these miracles will be shown to the people of that time. Allah (swt) will make these brave men taste death by killing them after He has declared to the people of that time that the resurrection after death is true.
What is said in the video
Surah Al-Kahf, verse 22. Some people will say: they are three, and the fourth is their dog. Again they will say: they are five, and the sixth is their dog. These are guesses about the unknown. And some say: they are seven, and the eighth is their dog. Say: my Lord knows their number best. Very few have knowledge about them. So, about the Ashab al-Kahf, except where the evidence is clear, except where the evidence is clear, do not enter into a dispute, and do not talk back and forth about them, do not ask anyone at all for information, it says. Yes, how beautifully it says it.
People are very curious about hidden and secret things. They are eager to make guesses about the Ashab al-Kahf. (?) about the Ashab al-Kahf too, some say their number is three, some five, and some say seven, and that they also have a dog. Of the people making these guesses, apart from those who have clear evidence in their hands, one must not believe the others.
Because these, their number, Allah knows best. Apart from Allah, except for those who have clear evidence in their hands, people cannot know how many they are. And those who have clear evidence in their hands do not reveal it anyway, according to the verse that Allah Almighty made known. What does the verse say? So, about the Ashab al-Kahf, except where the evidence is clear, do not enter into a dispute, and do not talk back and forth about them, do not ask anyone at all for information. Do not talk back and forth about them, that is, about their number, which is of no use to people, do not tell people these things.
Do not chase after any old unknown thing and make people too talk back and forth. And its saying "do not ask anyone at all for information" means these are a miracle of Allah. The continuation of this miracle is currently becoming manifest. By telling us to be content with the words of the verse that Allah has made known to us about their state, He commands: do not ask anyone for any information. How the miracles (?) and their secret lie within Allah's knowledge and power. The more people talk back and forth about the Ashab al-Kahf, the more people get stuck in dead ends and fall into crises in the dream worlds of their own minds. For this reason, that they were put to sleep again by Allah and, when a certain time comes, will be woken from sleep again, and these miracles will be shown to the people of that time too.
Allah Almighty, after making clear to the people of that time too that these people's resurrection after death is true, will cause these young men to die and make their souls taste death.
