Surah Al-Kahf (The Cave), Verse 21

وَكَذٰلِكَ اَعْثَرْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ لِیَعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ وَعْدَ اللّٰهِ حَقٌّ وَّاَنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَا رَیْبَ فِیْهَا اِذْ یَتَنَازَعُوْنَ بَیْنَهُمْ اَمْرَهُمْ فَقَالُوا ابْنُوْا عَلَیْهِمْ بُنْیَانًا رَبُّهُمْ اَعْلَمُ بِهِمْ قَالَ الَّذِیْنَ غَلَبُوْا عَلٰۤی اَمْرِهِمْ لَنَتَّخِذَنَّ عَلَیْهِمْ مَّسْجِدًا ۟

Wa kazaalika a'sarnaa 'alaihim liya'lamooo anna wa'dal laahi haqqunw wa annas Saa'ata laa raiba feehaa iz yatanaaza'oona bainahum amrahum faqaalub noo 'alaihim bunyaanaa; Rabbuhum a'lamu bihim; qaalal lazeena ghalaboo 'alaaa amrihim lanat takhizanna 'alaihim masjidaa

Thus did We make their case known to the people, that they might know that the promise of Allah is true, and that there can be no doubt about the Hour of Judgment. Behold, they dispute among themselves as to their affair. (Some) said, "Construct a building over them": Their Lord knows best about them: those who prevailed over their affair said, "Let us surely build a place of worship over them."
