قَـٰلَ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ عَدَدَ سِنِينَ
Q a la kam labithtum fee alar d i AAadada sineen a
[And] He will ask [the doomed]: "What number of years have you spent on earth?"
  - Mohammad Asad
They will be asked: "How many years did you live on earth?"
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
He will ask 'them', 'How many years did you remain on earth?'
  - Mustafa Khattab
He will say: How long tarried ye in the earth, counting by years?
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
He will say: "What number of years did ye stay on earth?" 2948
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

The Hafs reading is "Qala", "He will say". This follows the Kufa Qiraat. The Basra Qiraat reads "Qul", "Say" (in the imperative). The point is only one of grammatical construction. See n. 2666 to xxi. 4.
