Salam,
How authentic is this story and where did they get this information. Because the Quran says:

(Some) will say: They were three, their dog the fourth, and (some) say: Five, their dog the sixth, guessing at random; and (some) say: Seven, and their dog the eighth. Say (O Muhammad): My Lord is Best Aware of their number. None knoweth them save a few. So contend not concerning them except with an outward contending, and ask not any of them to pronounce concerning them. 18:22

so how could the authors know there were 7, what they were thinking, and all the extra details? Its a very nice story, just wondering about its authenticity.
