The names of the Companions of the Cave and their dog have been mentioned in some books of (exegesis) and historical accounts, such as Tafsir al-Tabari and al-Qurtubi. However, al-Qurtubi views the chain of narration for these names as weak. There is no benefit or legal ruling that depends on knowing their names; had there been a benefit, they would have been mentioned in the Quran or . A Muslim should suffice with the stories and lessons mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah, and refrain from delving into trivial details that offer no benefit.
