قُلْ رَّبِّیْۤ اَعْلَمُ بِعِدَّتِهِمْ مَّا یَعْلَمُهُمْ اِلَّا قَلِیْلٌ ﲕ

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Proclaim, ‘My Lord well knows their number – no one knows them except a few’.

(Ajaaib-ul-Quran, pp. 183, part 15, Surah Al-Kahf, Ayah 22)

It has been narrated by Sayyiduna ‘Abdullah Bin ‘Abbas رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُمَا, ‘I        am amongst those few people who know the number of Ashab-e-Kahf             رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰی عَـنْـهُم. The number of Ashab-e-Kahf is seven whose names are as follows: (1) Maksalmeena (2) Yamleekha (3) Martoonas (4) Baynoonas         (5) Saarinoonas (6) Zoonwanas (7) Kashfitatnoonas and the eighth was their dog namely, Qitmeer.’ (Tafseer Khaazin, vol. 4, pp. 207, part 15, Surah Al-Kahf, Ayah 22)

Blessing of the names of Ashaab-e-Kahf

Dear Islamic brothers! Pious saints have mentioned in their books, the benefits and peculiarities of the names of Ashab-e-Kahf. Let’s listen to the blessings of these names:

It is narrated: If these names are pasted to a door [of a house] after writing them [on a piece of paper, etc.], that house will remain safe from being burnt.  If [the piece of paper etc.] having these names is kept on the capital/wealth, it will not be stolen. Boats and ships will not sink by their blessings. The person, who has fled, will come back by the blessings of these names. If a fire breaks out, write these names on a piece of cloth and put it into the fire. By the grace of Allah Almighty عَزَّوَجَلَّ, the fire will be extinguished. These names are beneficial for the children who cry or for the fever that comes after every third day, for headache, for Umm-us-Sibyaan (i.e. an illness in which a person suffers from specific kind of mental fits), for travelling on land or sea, for the safety of life and wealth, for sharpening intellect and for the freedom of prisoners.  (Haashiyah Jamal, vol. 4, pp. 423, part 15, Surah Al-Kahf, Ayah 22)
