Then We awakened them so that We may see which of the two parties would be more precise in calculating the length of their stay.
Then We raised them up (from their sleep), that We might test which of the two parties was best at calculating the time period that they had tarried.
And afterward We raised them up that We might know which of the two parties would best calculate the time that they had tarried.
