Vertaling van de betekenissen Vers 11 Surah Soerat al-Kahf (De spelonk) - Engelse Vertaling - Dr. Walid Bleyhesh Al-Omari - The Heilige Qur'an Encyclopedie

Vers: 11

فَضَرَبۡنَا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاذَانِهِمۡ فِي ٱلۡكَهۡفِ سِنِينَ عَدَدٗا

(11) Then We sealed their ears^[3752] in the cave ˹for many˺ years numbered.

[3752] Their ears are specifically mentioned because the sense of hearing above and beyond any other sense is the one that spoils sleep most. If done in perfect circumstances, rarely is sleep disturbed by a cause other than noise (cf. Ibn ʿAṭiyyah).
