أَلَمْتَرَأَنَّٱللَّهَيَعْلَمُمَافِىٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِوَمَافِىٱلْأَرْضِ ۖمَايَكُونُمِننَّجْوَىٰثَلَٰثَةٍإِلَّاهُوَرَابِعُهُمْوَلَاخَمْسَةٍإِلَّاهُوَسَادِسُهُمْوَلَآأَدْنَىٰمِنذَٰلِكَوَلَآأَكْثَرَإِلَّاهُوَمَعَهُمْأَيْنَمَاكَانُوا۟ ۖثُمَّيُنَبِّئُهُمبِمَاعَمِلُوا۟يَوْمَٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ ۚإِنَّٱللَّهَبِكُلِّشَىْءٍعَلِيمٌ٧

Have you not considered that Allāh knows what is in the heavens and what is on the earth? There are not three in a private conversation but that He is the fourth of them, nor are there five but that He is the sixth of them - and no less than that and no more except that He is with them [in knowledge] wherever they are. Then He will inform them of what they did, on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed Allāh is, of all things, Knowing.(7)
