قُلِ اللّٰہُ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثُوۡا ۖ لَہٗ غَیۡبُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ ۖ اَبۡصِرۡ بِہٖ وَاَسۡمِعۡ ۚ مَا لَہُمۡ مِّنۡ دُوۡنِہٖ مِنۡ وَّلِیٍّ وَّلَا یُشۡرِکُ فِیۡ حُکۡمِہٖۤ اَحَدًا

19:39; 29:46.
The early Christians were persecuted in many lands and at different times, e.g. in Rome, Alexandria, etc. They were compelled to seek refuge in caves and catacombs at different times and for different periods. Their stay in the catacombs was not a single, uninterrupted episode. The exact length of the total period of such stay is known only to Allah.
The words also mean: 'Clear is His Sight and keen His Hearing' or 'He sees all and hears all.'

Commentary:
The words, Say, Allah knows best how long they tarried, purport to say that histories written by Christian writers assign 337 years as the period of the persecution of early Christians and therefore seem to contradict the Quranic statement that this period was 309 years. But this calculation as shown in the previous verse is at fault because the Quran is the revealed word of God and God cannot err in His calculations. Later research into old historical records as explained elsewhere has also supported the Quran. The present verse does not contradict the words, And they stayed in their Cave three hundred years and added nine more (v. 26). These words do not refer to the popular view about the period for which early Christians took refuge in caves but are God’s own words. So the expression, Allah knows best how long they tarried, not only does not contradict but actually supports and corroborates these words.
The words, How Seeing is He! and how Hearing, lend further support to the view that Christian chronologists have erred in fixing the present date of Jesus’ birth and his Crucifixion and that the Quranic statement with regard to the period for which اصحاب الکھف (Dwellers of the Cave) remained hidden in caves is correct.

早期基督教徒在许多国家和不同时期受迫害, 例如在罗马、亚历山大里亚等等。他们在不同时期被迫避难在山洞或地下墓穴中, 其时期不同而居住时间长短也不同。他们住在墓穴中并不是一种简单而顺利的情节。这种呆在墓穴中总的时期的确切年数, 只有安拉知道。

The words also mean: 'Clear is His Sight and keen His Hearing' or 'He sees all and hears all.'
اَسۡمِعۡ بِہِمۡ وَاَبۡصِرۡ یَوۡمَ یَاۡتُوۡنَنَا ۖ لٰکِنِ الظّٰلِمُوۡنَ الۡیَوۡمَ فِیۡ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِیۡنٍ
The verse means to say that the disbelievers’ faculties of seeing and hearing will become much keener and sharper on the Day of Judgment, because the veil will then be lifted from their eyes and ears and they will realize that they were in the wrong; but that realization being too late will prove to be of no avail to them.
