Tafheem-ul-Quran (En) - Al-Kahf : 19
وَ كَذٰلِكَ بَعَثْنٰهُمْ لِیَتَسَآءَلُوْا بَیْنَهُمْ١ؕ قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ١ؕ قَالُوْا لَبِثْنَا یَوْمًا اَوْ بَعْضَ یَوْمٍ١ؕ قَالُوْا رَبُّكُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثْتُمْ١ؕ فَابْعَثُوْۤا اَحَدَكُمْ بِوَرِقِكُمْ هٰذِهٖۤ اِلَى الْمَدِیْنَةِ فَلْیَنْظُرْ اَیُّهَاۤ اَزْكٰى طَعَامًا فَلْیَاْتِكُمْ بِرِزْقٍ مِّنْهُ وَ لْیَتَؔلَطَّفْ وَ لَا یُشْعِرَنَّ بِكُمْ اَحَدًا
Likewise, We roused them 16 in a miraculous way that they might question one another. One of them asked: "How long did you remain (in this state)?" The others said: "We remained so for a day or part of a day." Then they said: "Your Lord knows better how long we remained in this state. Now send one of you to the city with this coin of yours and let him see who has the best food, and let him buy some provisions from there. Let him be cautious and not inform anyone of our whereabouts.
16. They were awakened from their sleep in the same miraculous way that was employed in sending them to sleep and keeping them hidden from the outer world.
