﴾21﴿ And thus We made their story known to the people so that they might know that indeed the promise of Allah is true and that there is no doubt about the Hour (of Resurrection). When (the people of that time) disputed among themselves about their case, they said, Construct a building over them; their Lord knows best about them." Those who prevailed in their matter said, "We will surely build over them a mosque
﴾22﴿ Some say, "They were three, and their dog was the fourth," and others say, "They were five, and their dog was the sixth," guessing blindly without knowledge. And others say, "They were seven, and their dog was the eighth." Say, "My Lord knows best their number. None knows them except a few." So do not argue about them except with clear evidence, and do not question anyone among these people about them
