9أَم حَسِبتَ أَنَّ أَصحابَ الكَهفِ وَالرَّقيمِ كانوا مِن آياتِنا عَجَبًاN. J. DawoodDid you think the Sleepers of the Cave1 and Al-Raqīm2 a wonder among Our signs?The allusion is to the story of the Seven Sleepers. Compare Gibbon’s account in Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.This may be the name of their dog, the tablet on which their names were inscribed, or the mountain in which the cave was situated.
