The Holy Quran 23:113 — Surah Al-Mu'minun

Arabic text

قَالُوا۟ لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ فَسْـَٔلِ ٱلْعَآدِّينَ

Translation

They will say, "(Years are far too long to use as a measure. More appropriately, we will say that) We stayed only a day or a part of a day, but (to be certain) ask those who count (the angels who were recording our lives)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

قالوا لِهول الموقف وشدة العذاب: بقينا فيها يومًا أو بعض يوم، فاسأل الحُسَّاب الذين يعدُّون الشهور والأيام.
