They
said: we will surely entice away his father from him; and verily we
are doers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
62. |
And
he said to his pages: place their goods in their packs, haply they
will recognize them when they reach back to their household: haply
they will return. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
63. |
Then
when they returned to their father, they said: our father! the measuring
hath been denied us, wherefore send thou with us our brother, and
we shall get our measure; and verily we shall be his guards. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
64. |
He
said: I intrust you with him only as I intrusted you with his brother
aforetime; Allah is the best Guard, and He is the Most Merciful of
the merciful. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
65. |
And
when they opened their stuff, they found their goods returned unto
them. They said: our father! what more can we desire! here are our
goods returned to us; We Shall supply our household and shall guard
our brother and shall add anot her measure of a camel load: this is
only a small measure. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 66. |
He
said: I will by no means send him with you until ye give me an assurance
by Allah that ye will bring him back to me, unless it be that ye are
encompassed. Then when they gave him their assurance, he said: Allah
is over that which we have said Warden. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
67. |
And
he said: my sons! enter not by one gate but enter by different gates;
and I cannot avail you against Allah at all: judgment is but Allah's;
on Him I rely, and on Him let the relying rely. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
68. |
And
when they entered as their father had enjoined them, it availed them
not against Allah at all; it was only a craving in the soul of Ya
qub that he satisfied; verily he was endued with knowledge, for We
had taught him; but most of the people know not. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 69. |
And
when they entered unto Yusuf, he betook his full brother unto himself,
and said: verily I am thine own brother Yusuf, so sorrow not over
that which they have been working. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 70. |
And
when he had furnished them with their furnishing; he placed the drinking-cup
in his brother's pack. - Thereafter a crier cried: O caravan! verily
ye are thieves. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
71. |
They
said while they turned toward them: what is it that ye miss! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
72. |
They
said: we miss the king's cup; and for him who bringeth it shall be
a camel-load; and thereof I am a guarantor. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 73. |
They
said: by Allah! assuredly ye know that we came not to work corruption
in the land, nor we have been thieves. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
74. |
They
said: what shall be the meed of him, if ye are found liars! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
75. |
They
said: his meed shall be that he, in whose pack it is found, shall
himself be recompense thereof. Thus we reccmpense the wrong-doers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
76. |
Then
he began with their sacks before the sack of his brother; then he
brought it forth from his brothers sack. In this wise We contrived
for Yusuf. He was not one to take his brother by the law of the king,
except that Allah willed. We exalt in degrees whomsoever We will,
and above every knowing one is a Knower. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 77. |
They
said: if he stealeth, then surely a brother of him hath stolen afore.
But Yusuf concealed it in himself, and discovered it not unto them.
He said: ye are in evil plight, and Allah is the Best Knower of that
which ye ascribe. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
78. |
They
said: Aziz! verily he hath a father, an old man very aged; So take
one of us in his stead; verily we behold thee to be of the well-doers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 79. |
He
said: Allah forbid that we should take anyone but him with whom we
found our stuff; verily then we should be the wrong-doers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 80. |
Then
when they despaired of him they counselled together privately. The
eldest of them said: know ye not that your father hath taken an assurance
from you before Allah? and aforetime ye have been remiss in your duty
in respect of Yusuf; I so will by no means go forth from the land
until my father giveth me leave or Allah judgeth for me, and He is
the Best of judges. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
81. |
Return
unto your father, and say: our father! verily thy son hath stolen,
and we testify not save according to that which we know; and of the
unseen we could not be guards. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
82. |
And
inquire those of the city where we have been and of the caravan with
whom we have travelled hither; and verily we are truth-tellers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 83. |
He
said: nay! your selves have embellished for you an affair; so seemly
patience! Belike Allah may bring them all unto me; verily He! only
He Is the Knowing, the Wise. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
84. |
And
he turned away from them, and said: O my grief for Yusuf! and his
eyes whitened with grief, while he was filled with suppressed sorrow. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
85. |
They
said: by Allah! thou wilt not cease remembering Yusuf until thou art
wizened or thou be of the dead. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
86. |
He
said: I only bewail my cogitation and grief unto Allah, and I know
from Allah that which ye know not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
87. |
O
My sons! go and ascertain about Yusuf and his brother, and despair
not of the comfort of Allah; verily none despair of the comfort of
Allah except a people disbelieving. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
88. |
And
when they entered unto him, they said: O Aziz! distress hath touched
us and our household, and we have brought poor goods, wherefore give
us full measure, and be charitable unto us; verily Allah recompenseth
the charitable. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
89. |
He
said: remember ye that which ye did Unto Yusuf and his brother while
ye were ignorant? |
|
|
|
|
|
| 90. |
They
said: art thou Yusuf indeed! He said: I am Yusuf and this is my brother;
Allah hath surely been gracious unto us; verily whosoever feareth
and endureth, then verily Allah wasteth not the hire of the well-doers. |
