Without diacritics

سيقولون ثلاثة رابعهم كلبهم ويقولون خمسة سادسهم كلبهم رجما بالغيب ويقولون سبعة وثامنهم كلبهم قل ربي اعلم بعدتهم ما يعلمهم الا قليل فلا تمار فيهم الا مراء ظاهرا ولا تستفت فيهم منهم احدا

(Some) say they were three, The dog being the fourth Among them; (others) say They were five, the dog Being the sixth,—doubtfully Guessing at the unknown; (Yet others) say they were Seven, the dog being the eighth. Say thou: "My Lord Knoweth best their number; It is but few that know Their (real case)." Enter not, Therefore, into controversies Concerning them, except On a matter that is clear, Nor consult any of them About (the affair of) the Sleepers.
