The smart Meccan pagans and the very smart and pesky Jews were making fun of your prophet when he recited Surat al-Kahf and told him that they knew the story of "The 7 Sleepers of Ephesus" very well because it was written by a Syriac writer who was a Bishop and his name is Jacob of Serugh. Oh did I mention that he was a Nusrani? So one of the authors of the Qur'an is a Nusrani. What a disaster
The Meccan pagans and the Jews told him that this is no more than اساطير الاولين and his version is كلام فاضي
And Gabriel the angel with 600 wings who can appear to Muhammad as the most handsome young man in Quraish his name is Dehya al-Kalbi! (his boy-friend may be) and revealed Surat al-Kahf: 22
Why? because the Jews and the Meccan pagans kept nagging him and asking him: Hey, Abul Qasim how many were these sleepers and what is الرقيم? and were they 3 and the fourth their dog, or were they or were they 5 and the 6th were their dog or they were 7 and their 8th is their dog! Or something along the lines of this Shish Kabab Falafel and Hummus
Abul Qasim had no clue and he might have texted Gabriel: Hey, Gabe, help! those pesky Jews and smart Pagans want to know their number.
Gabriel appeared to him and revealed to him this disaster:
قل ربي اعلم بعدتهم
Or :Only my Lord knows their number!
Why? Who knows? The real author Jacob of Serugh knew their number
More disasters? No one has a clue what the word الرقيم? And why would a dog has two front arms? Dogs have arms? Mashallah.
This like Shakespearean English? Sobhanallah!
The Qur'an is a literary disaster
here check this
https://quran.com/18/22
And check this bogus transliteration Surah (sic) al-Kahf
At least they are using the definite article al-
So tell us our dear Hamzah al-tablighee why do tablighees like you have no clue about the Arabic language definite article and the ta marbouta? Ignorance may be?
https://quran.com/18
And here is a link to Jacob of Serugh wikipedia page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Sleepers
And here is a pdf copy of his story

And more evidence that the Qur'an plagiarized اساطير الاولين mistakes and all
See? you are your own worst enemy
