They said, "If a wolf should eat him while we are a [strong] clan, indeed, we would then be losers."

Surely, you will inform them

about this affair
وَهُمۡ
while they

١٥perceive
So when they took him [out] and agreed to put him into the bottom of the well...1 But We inspired to him, "You will surely inform them [someday] about this affair of theirs while they do not perceive [your identity]."
12:16
وَجَا ٓءُوٓ
And they came

They said, "O our father, indeed we went racing each other and left Joseph with our possessions, and a wolf ate him. But you would not believe us, even if we were truthful."
12:18
وَجَا ٓءُو
And they brought

And Allah

what

١٨you describe
And they brought upon his shirt false blood.1 [Jacob] said, "Rather, your souls have enticed you to something, so patience is most fitting. And Allāh is the one sought for help against that which you describe."
12:19
وَجَا ٓءَتۡ
And there came

then he let down

He said

And they hid him
بِضَـٰ عَةًۚ
(as) a merchandise
And Allah
عَلِيمُۢ
(is) All-Knower
of what
يَعۡمَلُو نَ
١٩they do
And there came a company of travelers; then they sent their water drawer, and he let down his bucket. He said, "Good news! Here is a boy." And they concealed him, [taking him] as merchandise;1 and Allāh was Knowing of what they did.
12:20
وَشَرَوۡهُ
And they sold him

for a price
very low

few
and they were

about him
مِنَ
of
those keen to give up
And they sold him for a reduced price - a few dirhams - and they were, concerning him, of those content with little.
12:21
وَقَالَ

the one who

that
(he) will benefit us
أَوۡ
or

we will take him

(as) a son
And thus

وَلَـٰ كِنّ َ
but

٢١know
And the one from Egypt1 who bought him said to his wife, "Make his residence comfortable. Perhaps he will benefit us, or we will adopt him as a son." And thus, We established Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of events [i.e., dreams]. And Allāh is predominant over His affair, but most of the people do not know.
12:22
وَلَمّ َا
And when
بَلَغَ
he reached

And when he [i.e., Joseph] reached maturity, We gave him judgement and knowledge. And thus We reward the doers of good.

And she, in whose house he was, sought to seduce him. She closed the doors and said, "Come, you." He said, "[I seek] the refuge of Allāh. Indeed, he1 is my master, who has made good my residence. Indeed, wrongdoers will not succeed."

[Joseph] said, "It was she who sought to seduce me." And a witness from her family testified, "If his shirt is torn from the front, then she has told the truth, and he is of the liars.

خَيۡرٌ
(is) better
for those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believe
وَكَانُواۡ
and are
يَتَّقُو نَ
٥٧God conscious
And the reward of the Hereafter is better for those who believed and were fearing Allāh.
12:58
وَجَا ٓءَ
And came
إِخۡوَةُ
(the) brothers
يُوسُفَ
(of) Yusuf
فَدَخَلُواۡ
and they entered
عَلَيۡهِ
upon him
فَعَرَفَهُمۡ
and he recognized them
وَهُمۡ
but they
لَهُۥ
knew him not
مُنك ِرُو نَ
٥٨knew him not
And the brothers of Joseph came [seeking food], and they entered upon him; and he recognized them, but he was to them unknown.1
12:59
وَلَمّ َا
And when
جَهَّزَهُم
he had furnished them
with their supplies
قَالَ
he said
Bring to me
بِأَخٍ
a brother
of yours
from
أَبِيكُمۡۚ
your father
أَلَا
Do not
تَرَوۡنَ
you see
أَنّ ِىٓ
that I
أُوفِى
[I] give full
[the] measure
وَأَنَاۡ
and that I am
خَيۡرُ
(the) best
(of) the hosts
And when he had furnished them with their supplies, he said, "Bring me a brother of yours from your father.1 Do you not see that I give full measure and that I am the best of accommodators?
12:60
فَإِن
But if
not
تَأۡتُونِى
you bring him to me
بِهِۦ
you bring him to me
فَلَا
then (there will be) no
كَيۡلَ
measure
لَكُمۡ
for you
عِند ِى
from me
وَلَا
and not
تَقۡ رَبُو نِ
٦٠you will come near me
But if you do not bring him to me, no measure will there be [hereafter] for you from me, nor will you approach me."
12:61
قَالُواۡ
They said
سَنُرٰ
We will try to get permission
عَنۡهُ
for him
أَبَاهُ
(from) his father
وَإِنّ َا
and indeed we
لَفَـٰ عِلُو نَ
٦١surely will do
They said, "We will attempt to dissuade his father from [keeping] him, and indeed, we will do [it]."
12:62
وَقَالَ
And he said
لِفِتۡيَـٰ نِهِ
to his servants
Put
بِضَـٰ عَتَهُمۡ
their merchandise
فِى
in
رِحَالِهِمۡ
their saddlebags
لَعَلَّهُمۡ
so that they
يَعۡرِفُونَهَآ
may recognize it
إِذَا
when
they go back
إِلَىٰٓ
to
أَهۡلِهِمۡ
their people
لَعَلَّهُمۡ
so that they may
يَرۡجِعُو نَ
٦٢return
And [Joseph] said to his servants, "Put their merchandise1 into their saddlebags so they might recognize it when they have gone back to their people that perhaps they will [again] return."
12:63
فَلَمّ َا
So when
رَجَعُوٓ اۡ
they returned
إِلَىٰٓ
to
أَبِيهِمۡ
their father
قَالُواۡ
they said
يَـٰٓ أَبَانَا
O our father
مُنِعَ
Has been denied
مِنّ َا
to us
the measure
فَأَرۡسِلۡ
so send
مَعَنَآ

(that) we will get measure
وَإِنّ َا
And indeed, we

لَحَـٰ فِظُو نَ
٦٣(will) surely (be) guardians
So when they returned to their father, they said, "O our father, [further] measure has been denied to us, so send with us our brother [that] we will be given measure. And indeed, we will be his guardians."
12:64
قَالَ
He said
هَلۡ
Should
ءَامَنُكُمۡ
I entrust you
عَلَيۡهِ

فَٱ للَّهُ
But Allah
خَيۡرٌ
(is) the best
حَـٰ فِظًاۖ
Guardian
and He
أَرۡحَمُ
(is the) Most Merciful
(of) the merciful
He said, "Should I entrust you with him except [under coercion] as I entrusted you with his brother before? But Allāh is the best guardian, and He is the most merciful of the merciful."
12:65
وَلَمّ َا
And when
فَتَحُواۡ
they opened
مَتَـٰ عَهُمۡ
their baggage
وَجَدُواۡ
they found
بِضَـٰ عَتَهُمۡ
their merchandise
رُدَّتۡ
returned
إِلَيۡهِمۡۖ
to them
قَالُواۡ
They said
يَـٰٓ أَبَانَا
O our father
مَا
What

(could) we desire
هَـٰ ذِهِۦ
This
بِضَـٰ عَتُنَا

رُدَّتۡ

And we will get provision
أَهۡلَنَا
(for) our family

أَخَانَا

وَنَزۡدَادُ
and get an increase
كَيۡلَ

بَعِيرٍۖ
(of) a camel's (load)
That
كَيۡلٌ
(is) a measurement
easy
And when they opened their baggage, they found their merchandise returned to them. They said, "O our father, what [more] could we desire? This is our merchandise returned to us. And we will obtain supplies [i.e., food] for our family and protect our brother and obtain an increase of a camel's load; that is an easy measurement."1
12:66
قَالَ
He said
لَنۡ
Never
أُرۡسِلَهُۥ

مَعَكُمۡ
with you
حَتَّىٰ
until

بِهِۦٓ
that surely you will bring him to me
إِلَّآ
unless
أَن

بِكُمۡۖ
you are surrounded
فَلَمّ َآ
And when
ءَاتَوۡهُ
they had given him
مَوۡثِقَهُمۡ
their promise
قَالَ
he said
Allah
عَلَىٰ
over
مَا
what
نَقُولُ
we say
وَكِي لٌ
٦٦(is) a Guardian
[Jacob] said, "Never will I send him with you until you give me a promise [i.e., oath] by Allāh that you will bring him [back] to me, unless you should be surrounded [i.e., overcome by enemies]." And when they had given their promise, he said, "Allāh, over what we say, is Entrusted."1
12:67
وَقَالَ
And he said
يَـٰ بَنِىَّ
O my sons

تَوَكَّلۡتُۖ
I put my trust
وَعَلَيۡهِ
and upon Him
فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ
let put (their) trust

And he said, "O my sons, do not enter from one gate but enter from different gates; and I cannot avail you against [the decree of] Allāh at all. The decision is only for Allāh; upon Him I have relied, and upon Him let those who would rely [indeed] rely."
12:68
وَلَمّ َا
And when
دَخَلُواۡ
they entered
مِنۡ

حَيۡثُ

And when they entered from where their father had ordered them, it did not avail them against Allāh at all except [it was] a need [i.e., concern] within the soul of Jacob, which he satisfied. And indeed, he was a possessor of knowledge because of what We had taught him, but most of the people do not know.
12:69
وَلَمّ َا
And when
دَخَلُواۡ
they entered
عَلَىٰ
upon
يُوسُفَ
Yusuf
ءَاوَىٰٓ
he took
إِلَيۡهِ
to himself
أَخَاهُۖ
his brother
قَالَ
He said
إِنّ ِىٓ
Indeed, I

so (do) not
تَبۡ تَئِسۡ
grieve
بِمَا
for what
كَانُواۡ
they used (to)
يَعۡمَلُو نَ
٦٩do
And when they entered upon Joseph, he took his brother to himself; he said, "Indeed, I am your brother, so do not despair over what they used to do [to me]."
12:70
فَلَمّ َا
So when
جَهَّزَهُم
he had furnished them
with their supplies
جَعَلَ
he put
the drinking cup
فِى
in
رَحۡلِ
the bag
أَخِيهِ
(of) his brother
ثُمّ َ
Then
أَذَّنَ
called out
مُؤَذِّنٌ
an announcer
أَيَّتُهَا
O you
(in) the caravan
إِنّ َكُمۡ
Indeed, you
لَسَـٰ رِقُو نَ
٧٠surely (are) thieves
So when he had furnished them with their supplies, he put the [gold measuring] bowl into the bag of his brother. Then an announcer called out, "O caravan, indeed you are thieves."
12:71
قَالُواۡ
They said
وَأَقۡ بَلُواۡ
turning towards
عَلَيۡهِم
them
What (is it)
تَفۡقِدُو نَ
٧١you miss
They said while approaching them, "What is it you are missing?"
12:72
قَالُواۡ
They said
نَفۡقِدُ
We are missing
صُوَاعَ
(the) cup
(of) the king
وَلِمَن
And for (one) who
brings
بِهِۦ
it
حِمۡلُ
(is) a load
بَعِيرٍ
(of) a camel
and I
بِهِۦ
for it
زَعِي مٌ
٧٢(is) responsible
They said, "We are missing the measure of the king. And for he who produces it is [the reward of] a camel's load, and I am responsible for it."
12:73
قَالُواۡ
They said
تَٱ للَّهِ
By Allah
لَقَدۡ
certainly
عَلِمۡتُم

وَمَا

كُنّ َا
we are
سَـٰ رِقِي نَ
٧٣thieves
They said, "By Allāh, you have certainly known that we did not come to cause corruption in the land, and we have not been thieves."
12:74
قَالُواۡ
They said
فَمَا
Then what
جَزٰ ۥٓ
(will be the) recompense (of) it
إِن
if
you are
كَـٰ ذِبِي نَ
٧٤liars
They [the accusers] said, "Then what would be its recompense1 if you should be liars?"
12:75
قَالُواۡ
They said
جَزٰ ۥ
Its recompense
مَن

it is found
فِى
in

his bag
فَهُوَ
then he
جَزٰ ۥ ۚ
(will be) his recompense
كَذٰ
Thus
نَجۡ زِى
(do) we recompense
the wrongdoers
[The brothers] said, "Its recompense is that he in whose bag it is found - he [himself] will be its recompense.1 Thus do we recompense the wrongdoers."
12:76
فَبَدَأَ
So he began
بِأَوۡعِيَتِهِمۡ
with their bags
قَبۡ لَ
before
وِعَا ٓءِ
(the) bag

ثُمّ َ
then
he brought it out
مِن

(the) bag
أَخِيهِۚ
(of) his brother
كَذٰ
Thus
كِدۡ نَا
(did) We plan
لِيُوسُفَۖ
for Yusuf
مَا
He could not
كَانَ
He could not
لِيَأۡخُذَ
take
أَخَاهُ
his brother
فِى
by

the law
(of) the king
إِلَّآ
except
أَن
that
Allah willed
Allah willed
نَرۡفَعُ
We raise

وَفَوۡقَ
but over
كُلِّ

possessor
عِلۡمٍ
(of) knowledge
عَلِي مٌ
٧٦(is) the All-Knower
So he began [the search] with their bags before the bag of his brother; then he extracted it from the bag of his brother. Thus did We plan for Joseph. He could not have taken his brother within the religion [i.e., law] of the king except that Allāh willed. We raise in degrees whom We will, but over every possessor of knowledge is one [more] knowing.1
12:77
۞قَالُوٓ اۡ

But Yusuf kept it secret

to them
قَالَ
He said
أَنت ُمۡ
You

(are the) worse
(in) position
and Allah
أَعۡلَمُ
knows best
بِمَا
of what
تَصِفُو نَ
٧٧you describe
They said, "If he steals - a brother of his has stolen before." But Joseph kept it within himself and did not reveal it to them.1 He said, "You are worse in position, and Allāh is most knowing of what you describe."
12:78
قَالُواۡ
They said
يَـٰٓ أَيُّهَا
O
Aziz
إِنّ َ
Indeed

Indeed, we

the good-doers
They said, "O ʿAzeez,1 indeed he has a father [who is] an old man, so take one of us in place of him. Indeed, we see you as a doer of good."
12:79
قَالَ
He said
مَعَاذَ

Allah forbid

Indeed, we
إِذًا
then
surely (would be) wrongdoers
He said, "[I seek] the refuge of Allāh [to prevent] that we take except him with whom we found our possession. Indeed, we would then be unjust."
12:80
فَلَمّ َا
So when
they despaired
مِنۡهُ
of him
خَلَصُواۡ
they secluded themselves
نَجِيًّاۖ
(in) private consultation
Said

the eldest among them

So when they had despaired of him, they secluded themselves in private consultation. The eldest of them said, "Do you not know that your father has taken upon you an oath by Allāh and [that] before you failed in [your duty to] Joseph? So I will never leave [this] land until my father permits me or Allāh decides for me,1 and He is the best of judges.
12:81
ٱرۡجِعُوٓ اۡ

[Jacob] said, "Rather, your souls have enticed you to something, so patience is most fitting. Perhaps Allāh will bring them to me all together. Indeed, it is He who is the Knowing, the Wise."
12:84
وَتَوَلَّىٰ
And he turned away

٨٤a suppressor
And he turned away from them and said, "Oh, my sorrow over Joseph," and his eyes became white1 from grief, for he was [of that] a suppressor.2
12:85
قَالُواۡ
They said

They said, "By Allāh, you will not cease remembering Joseph until you become fatally ill or become of those who perish."
12:86

He said

O my sons, go and find out about Joseph and his brother and despair not of relief from Allāh. Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allāh except the disbelieving people."
12:88

So when

So when they entered upon him [i.e., Joseph], they said, "O ʿAzeez, adversity has touched us and our family, and we have come with goods poor in quality, but give us full measure and be charitable to us. Indeed, Allāh rewards the charitable."

And when the caravan departed [from Egypt], their father said,1 "Indeed, I find the smell of Joseph [and would say that he was alive] if you did not think me weakened in mind."
12:95
قَالُواۡ
They said

They said, "By Allāh, indeed you are in your [same] old error."
12:96

Then when

arrived
the bearer of glad tidings

And when the bearer of good tidings1 arrived, he cast it over his face, and he returned [once again] seeing. He said, "Did I not tell you that I know from Allāh that which you do not know?"

He said, "I will ask forgiveness for you from my Lord. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."
12:99

Then when

his parents

upon
the throne
وَخَرُّواۡ
and they fell down

And he raised his parents upon the throne, and they bowed to him in prostration.1 And he said, "O my father, this is the explanation of my vision of before. My Lord has made it reality. And He was certainly good to me when He took me out of prison and brought you [here] from bedouin life after Satan had induced [estrangement] between me and my brothers. Indeed, my Lord is Subtle2 in what He wills. Indeed, it is He who is the Knowing, the Wise.

There was certainly in their stories a lesson for those of understanding. Never was it [i.e., the Qur’ān] a narration invented, but a confirmation of what was before it and a detailed explanation of all things and guidance and mercy for a people who believe.
