The Holy Quran 18:93 — Surah Al-Kahf

Arabic text

حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا بَلَغَ بَيْنَ ٱلسَّدَّيْنِ وَجَدَ مِن دُونِهِمَا قَوْمًا لَّا يَكَادُونَ يَفْقَهُونَ قَوْلًا

Translation

...until he reached (a place situated) between two (huge) mountains where he found a nation who could barely understand anything (because they were terrified of the Ya'jooj and Ma'jooj).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The conversation reported next probably took place through some interpreter, and the interpreter was probably from some intermediate people who understood the languages of both to some degree.
