قُلِ اللّٰہُ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثُوۡا ۖ لَہٗ غَیۡبُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ ۖ اَبۡصِرۡ بِہٖ وَاَسۡمِعۡ ۚ مَا لَہُمۡ مِّنۡ دُوۡنِہٖ مِنۡ وَّلِیٍّ وَّلَا یُشۡرِکُ فِیۡ حُکۡمِہٖۤ اَحَدًا
11:124; 16:78; 35:39.
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。

وَیَوۡمَ تَقُوۡمُ السَّاعَۃُ یُقۡسِمُ الۡمُجۡرِمُوۡنَ مَا لَبِثُوۡا غَیۡرَ سَاعَۃٍ ۚ کَذٰلِکَ کَانُوۡا یُؤۡفَکُوۡنَ
اس جگہ عیسائیوں کی اس حالت کی طرف اشارہ ہے جو عیسائیت کے اٹلی میں پھیل جانے کے بعد ہوئی تھی۔ اس وقت وہ اس دورِ تکلیف سے گذر گئے تھے جو اصحابِ کہف کے زمانہ میں اُن پر وارد ہوا تھا اس کے بعد کچھ عرصہ تک ان کو ترقی ملی۔ لیکن اسلام کی ترقی کے زمانہ میں وہ پھر گرے۔ اور پھر اسلام کی ترقی کے زمانہ میں ان پر جو تنزل کا دور آیا تھا اس کو یاد کرکے افسوس کرنے لگے کہ ہم نے بہت ہی کم لذت اٹھائی ہے زیادہ تر تکلیف میں ہی عمر گذاری ہے۔
10:46; 46:36.
Commentary:
The verse means to say that when the hour of the triumph of Islam arrives and disbelief suffers defeat, the disbelievers will realize to their mortification and sorrow that the time of their prosperity and glory was indeed very short. It was but an hour!

The hour of the triumph of Islam.
فَلَمَّا قَضَیۡنَا عَلَیۡہِ الۡمَوۡتَ مَا دَلَّہُمۡ عَلٰی مَوۡتِہٖۤ اِلَّا دَآبَّۃُ الۡاَرۡضِ تَاۡکُلُ مِنۡسَاَتَہٗ ۖ فَلَمَّا خَرَّ تَبَیَّنَتِ الۡجِنُّ اَنۡ لَّوۡ کَانُوۡا یَعۡلَمُوۡنَ الۡغَیۡبَ مَا لَبِثُوۡا فِی الۡعَذَابِ الۡمُہِیۡنِ
素莱曼的无用的儿子和继承者, 里霍博姆 (Rehoboam), 在他无力的统治下,素莱曼强大的帝国瓦解了 («列王纪上» 第12, 13, 14章和 «犹太白科全书»参看“Rehoboam”)。
یعنی ان کا وارث دنیا کا کیڑا تھا۔ نیک بندہ نہ تھا۔ سلیمانؑ کے بعد اس کے رویہ سے لوگ بدک گئے اور بغاوتیں شروع ہو گئیں۔ (دیکھئے بائبل۔ ۱۔ سلاطین باب۱۲)
یعنی اگر وہ سمجھتے کہ سلیمانؑ جیسے بادشاہ کے ملک پر بھی ایک دن تباہی آئے گی تو وہ اس آزادی کے دن کی انتظار میں ان کی فرمانبرداری ہی نہ کرتے۔
Solomon’s worthless son and successor, Rehoboam, under whose weak rule Solomon’s great and mighty Kingdom fell to pieces (1 Kings, chaps. 12, 13, 14 & Jewish. Enc. under "Rehoboam").
Disruption and disintegration of Solomon’s Kingdom set in in Rehoboam’s time.
Important Words:
منساة (staff) is derived from نسا. They say نسا الدابة i.e. he urged or drove the beast. منساة means, a staff or large stick, so called because a beast is driven with it; a pastor’s big staff (Lane & Aqrab).
Commentary:
The reference in the words "a worm of the earth" is to Solomon’s worthless son and successor, Rehoboam, under whose weak rule the great and mighty kingdom of Solomon fell to pieces. Besides leading a life of ease and luxury, he was surrounded by foolish and selfish counsellors whose bad advice led him to pursue a policy which brought about the ruin and downfall of the kingdom which had been reared on firm and sound footing by his great father. The wild mountain tribes realizing that the strong hand which had held them under subjection was no more, rebelled and revolted, with the result that disorder and chaos followed and Solomon’s mighty kingdom cracked and crumbled. See 1 Kings, Chaps. 12, 13, 14 & Jew. Enc. Under "Rehoboam."
The expression "that ate away his staff," signifies that the disruption and disintegration of Solomon’s kingdom set in Rehoboam’s time.
