سُوْرَةُ الْكَهْفِ
Surah Al-Kahf (18) — Ayah 27
وَٱتْلُ مَآ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْكَ مِن كِتَابِ رَبِّكَ ۖ لَا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَـٰتِهِۦ وَلَن تَجِدَ مِن دُونِهِۦ مُلْتَحَدًا ﴿27﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And recite what has been revealed to you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) of the Book (the Qur’ân) of your Lord (i.e. recite it, understand and follow its teachings and act on its orders and preach it to men). None can change His Words, and none will you find as a refuge other than Him.

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
27. 1 Although this command is general that whatever revelation is sent to you, recite it and teach it to the people. But after the conclusion of the story of the Companions of the Cave, by this command it can also be meant that let people say whatever they want about the Companions of the Cave. But whatever and however much Allah Almighty has stated about it in His Book, that alone is authentic, that alone you should recite to the people, do not pay attention to other things beyond this.
27. 2 That is, if you avoid or turn away from stating it, or try to alter or change its words, then there will be no one to save you from Allah. Although the address is to the Prophet ﷺ, the real addressee is the Ummah.
