وَكَذٰلِكَ بَعَثْنَاهُمْ لِيَتَسَٓاءَلُوا بَيْنَهُمْۜ قَالَ قَٓائِلٌ مِنْهُمْ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْۜ قَالُوا لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا اَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍۜ قَالُوا رَبُّكُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثْتُمْ فَابْعَثُٓوا اَحَدَكُمْ بِوَرِقِكُمْ هٰذِه۪ٓ اِلَى الْمَد۪ينَةِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ اَيُّهَٓا اَزْكٰى طَعَامًا فَلْيَاْتِكُمْ بِرِزْقٍ مِنْهُ وَلْيَتَلَطَّفْ وَلَا يُشْعِرَنَّ بِكُمْ اَحَدًا ١٩

English Translation
19Just as We put them to sleep, so too We woke them, and they began asking one another what had happened. One of them asked: —How long have you stayed in this state? Another said: —We must have stayed a day or less. The others said: —Our Lord knows best how long you have slept. Now send one of you to the city with this money, and let him see which food is the purest and bring you some food from it. But let him be very careful and not let anyone sense that we are here.
